The only reason we had bpl13a was because of a critical non-compiling
problem. (Due to GCC not warning about (a ? b : c) = foo; construct.)
Otherwise, it's just sequential numbering, nothing more. The idea is to
not take a year for the future releases though. :)
bpl15 will have autoeq and alias saving barring other occurances. Jeremy
is on vacation out of the country so don't hold your breath on a release
very soon. :)
