Thank you for the prompt reply and the commitment!

I never really switched to 5.2 (it wasn't that cool an enhancement for 
me at the time), but 5.3 looks *very* interesting and I'm *slooooowly* 
converting my old scripts/modules, and all new code I write is targeted 
at 5.3.

:-)

I hope I can find the time to play with Arduino next week, so I can do 
some tests myself and report back any issues.

Cheers!
