I'd like to see the changes for 0.0.2 be just the bare minimum for the
const_table containing NVs + SVs. I know a bunch of us have been
thinking about the file format stuff and we'll probably want to have
another thread about it before adding more stuff (IMHO).
Is there hope that 0.0.2 could be out by the end of the week if I get
the tasks assiged to me done RSN?
