ARGH... this is from September 2005, and I meant to
follow up on this but apparently it slipped my mind
while I was changing jobs at that time. Now we're
ready for 1.7.0 to go out the door... should I do this
quickly before the release, or leave it for post-1.7.0
and go through deprecate-first-in-favor-of-head, etc.?
-Matt
P.S. If we change to "head", hope it doesn't screw up
the book too much, Steve...

In which case, no name change and <last> would be a
convenience addition post 1.7.0. I guess that works.
