AWK & field-parser/record-reader routines shifted over to SREs. SRE regexp system installed. BEGIN process forms are now wrapped in a stdio->stdports call, so the body sees the I/O environment established by the pf's EPF. New char-sets and predicates: printing blank control punctuation hex-digit ascii empty full This gives full coverage of the Posix character classes New char-set operations. Space removed from char-set:graphic -- this was a bug wrt Posix definitions. char-set-union and char-set-intersection now n-ary Fixed bug with interrupt system that prevented sigalrm from being caught by scsh programs. Mike Sperber & Kevin Esler Dmitrii Pasechnik bug in delete code reduce -> foldl (reduce-port, reduce-char-set) FILE-MATCH still treats strings as Posix regexps; now accepts regexp args, too.
