Recent Changes Aug 16th-25th

So, I figure that I'll start writing entries detailing changes for the previous week. I'd prefer to do this on like a Sunday night, but I'll start now and kinda work back to that.

Since August 16th, the following changes have occurred in cardinal/master:

Parser fixes:

• Postfix ++ and -- were removed; these exist in Perl6 but not in Ruby. (joeri)
  
• Parens were enabled in the optable. (joeri)
  
• Some cleanups and removal of rules that aren't used. (joeri)
  
• Require float literals to have at least one digit prior to the radix point. (treed)
  
• Fixed a problem with trailing whitespace causing parsefail. (joeri)
  

PIR fixes:

• == now works with true and false properly. Tests added to that effect. (joeri, treed)
  
• The GC class was changed to use the true and false constants, rather than 1 and 0. (joeri, treed)
  
• puts and friends now return nil (joeri)
  
• Array#nitems removed; no longer present in Ruby 1.9 (dtm)
  
• Array#count added; new in Ruby 1.9.(dtm)
• Array#select added. (dtm)
  

Other stuff:

• Some miscellaneous Rakefile fixes. (treed)
• Update Makefile build. (pfarrad)
• Added "report" target to Rakefile, for generating a TAP archive for jdv79's smolder test stuff. (treed)
