Thanks.  Yes, that's first.

Yeah, I'd like that.

Because we've already had a couple of reports about this, I think this 
should be part of 2.4, and it should probably be in NEWS.  Please push 
these changes whenever you get a chance.

It might be easiest if we just finish up 2.4 now.  I had hoped XML 
documentation and internationalization in the skeletons might happen 
first, but no one (including me) seems to have time to think about those. 
Other than that, I have only a few small tweaks in mind, and then I think 
2.4 should go out.
