These are now committed.

I've also created a new Zero Install release (0.9.2-post2):

http://wiki.erights.org/wiki/Downloads#Releases
http://repo.roscidus.com/e/e-core/

(by the way, it might be nice if the downloads link on the erights.org
main page linked to the downloads page on the wiki)

This includes all the above patches, as well as some more experimental ones:

      Preserve source information about the collection used in a for expansion
      Added SQL quasi-parser
      Added <elang:interp.ELoaderAuthor>
      Added seedVat/3 to give a <this> loader to the new scope
      When running (unconfined) code with rune, give it a <this>
loader by default
      Set <this> loader when running updoc scripts
      Load updoc.e from e.jar
