Spot on.

That's rather remarkable, since I didn't even comment yet. ;-) Sorry, 
I'm still catching up on the flood of messages in this thread. It's 
getting late over here, so I think I'll have to reply tomorrow. A brief 
look indicates that probably some bugfixes in math.pure are in order, so 
I'm going to postpone the release until that stuff is sorted out.

Cheers,
Albert
