Just a short follow-up here:Initially I counted on release 4.2 to include/"receive" the spreadsheet I/O functions.
Now that default & gui-release have been merged (back into 3.9.0+) I'm afraid I simply lack time to prepare this for the coming 4.0 release, sorry. Hopefully this doesn't bring along too much inconvenience; luckily the io package still installs fine with the new "default" branch.
BTW how about bumping the current 3.9.0+ version to 3.9.1+ to distinguish it from the "former" 3.9.0+/gui-release?
