yeah, I upgraded the website (and issue tracker) today. Too bad IE doesn't
have such a nice debug mode as firefox, or else it would be easier to work
around its numerous bugs. It should be done now. Please report any issues
you find with the site (to the tracker if you can, or else here).

heh, I just checked and 'metaclass' is a keyword in opencxx (our C++ parser
backend), since opencxx originally was a metaprogramming tool. For now
I'll just comment it out. I'll check back with the opencxx developers
to see how I could preserve the metaprogramming facilities. May be
'__metaclass' (I know, I know, I'm not supposed to use tokens with two
leading underscores...)

Well, yeah, we use a *real* full-blown C++ parser as backend. Actually,
after the upcoming release I'm going to investigate how to expose the full
power of opencxx to synopsis, with code generation and all the other jazz.
That should open up a whole new world of possibilities...
