Thanks Limbic~Region. That's the kind of stuff I was looking to hear. I had thought I'd heard that 5.9.4 was a release candidate, but it seems not.

I've been playing with some stuff, on and off for a couple of years now, that really needs some of the new features in 5.10 to be viable. I just encountered something on the web that brought it to the top of the stack and the thought again crossed my mind.

People have been talking about some of the new features for a very long time now, the earliest reference I found to defined-or was 49 months ago, but it was a half-hearted search and I'd be very surprised if it didn't go back a year or two before that. Seems almost as if they are waiting for something?

Still, I guess the onion will be cooked (5 minutes to fry; 15 if you want to caramelise without burning; 20 to boil; 25 to roast;) when it's cooked.
