Total: 19 hours
My next aim is to continue working on these (Pre)PPC discussions and
end up with a solid idea on how to handle @INC directories, as well as
shake out the last of the design questions on match/case sufficient to
start some core development work on that also. I'm continuing to work
on attributes-v2, and while I still don't think the whole thing will be
quite ready this month, I hope to have some related work that crosses
over with Magic-v2 that should overlap well, and provide some useful
benefits along the side.

I still do not think the whole thing, including installing stove, will be ready this month because it is still in progress.
