I hoped this would happen, as it's been way time that some things were
added/changed.
Do you plan on changing some names, before releasing this beta or the final
2.1 (seekright -> GetNextToken is on my wishlist, if GetNextToken is rooted
out)
Just after inclusion of all relevant patches and before the release would be
the optimal time.

and we did ours and sent patches :-)
I think it's for the benefit of everyone: no one wants to change such
things after the official release (this would mean more questions of the
form: "Are you using 1.24, 2.0 or 2.1 beta ?")

good. this will halve the travel on the list:
"where did TogglePage go?" :-)

GOOD (Tm)
