Keywords as hash - Warnock's Dilemma

I've added tests for the new UUID keyword (wasn't as hard as I had imagined) and 
I'm just running 'make check' one last time.  However, I have not gotten any 
feedback on my current patches.  Is there no one who cares?  Would it be easier 
to submit one patch which makes all of the changes (now that I have proven to 
myself that the compatibility shims are fully functional)?  Is there anyone I 
can send chocolate to, in order to get these patches committed?

I'd very much like to move on to other things (the proposed $Format$ keyword and 
trying to write up inherited properties), but I feel like this patch is never 
going to go away...

wah! ;)

Warnock's Dilemma:

The act of choosing whether the lack of response to a discussion list post
is because of its brilliance (there's nothing to add) or because of its
stupidity (it doesn't deserve comment). Named after Brian Warnock, who
first described the condition on a Perl list.

As you probably noticed, I did nothing over the week-end -- because my 
box broke; er, that is, went on vacation. Sorry. Will try to compensate, 
etc. etc.

I'm going to spend a little time today getting a patent filed for:

	eBeer - securely purchase a beer for someone not local to you

You can send me lots of chocolate, and I wouldn't mand a few beers, too. 
in advance.  8-)

I'll try to get on this tonight. Not that I have time, but I'm tired of 
seeing the patches posted to dev@.  :-)
