That is great... Think that it would fix the problem of setting 
breakpoints on certain lines in class methods (eg on if, for, etc 
blocks) I tried the following after a rebuild with this patch

dbstop gf
a = gf(0:3,2)

and the result was the breakpoint was not respected. I attach this OOP 
class here to see if you know what the issue is..

In any case apart from the two points

 1. Objects:
   - Operator overloading vs. constant folding

 +. Handle block comments.  This is not quite finished as block
    comments inside [] or {}, and also in the group of comments
    following a continuation character, etc., are not handled.  See
    the FIXME comments in lex.l.

that you John basically said you won't handle I see nothing left to do 
from the 3.2 task list, and I know of no show stopper bugs (unless the 
breakpoint issue above is considered a show stopper)... We really need a 
3.1.52 release and start stabilizing for a 3.2 release.
