Actually, not sure whether this would be just 2.1.  But then moving from
2.0 to 2.2 should be less of a hassle than 1.8 to 2.0.

I'm not saying that ##t/##f are pretty.  But from where I stand, I don't
see that we're getting out of this ugliness all that easy without buying
us other, more deep-running ugliness.

At least we can now write x.y.z.w instead of x.y #'(z w) and similar.
That was more of a visual distraction in my book...  So I'm not purely
conservative.
