I agree so almost all last features are not major features - but I don't
think so it is wrong (and structured exception is not minor feature).
Almost all work is done.

* more robust work with nested types - assign statement
* some support for large and complex projects (support for developer tools
like coverage calculation, dependency graphs and assertions)
