Okey, I'll merge this change into current trunk.  Please wait for
a week.

If you feel inconvenience in any additions to any branches, please
feel free to inform us.  I (or any of else) will merge those changes
into branch you are working on, trunk.

According to current release plan, I suppose that complete merger
between trunk and release branch will be obtained when 7.0 will be
released.

Why I suppose such is: Several reorderings and refactorings had been
and will be made on former and several addtions and bug fixes had
been and will be made on latter.  Both of them are irreconcilable.

However, significant changes will be shared between both branches
as necessary, even if we will have to submit to "doublethink".

I'll explain on them after release of any beta of 6.2.  Please wait
for more moment.
