*Hopefully* this incorporates Einstein's General Theory equations with some nice
quantum additions, and not that old and deprecated Newtonian stuff. (Ugh,
backwards compatibility--who cares?! Out with the old, in with the new!) Oh,

(geez, how long do we have to wait??) If NOT, then maybe it's already time for
the 4.01 beta...
