Subject: New server versions

Well, if there are to be two more releases before the end of august,
how about sneaking in some of my ideas?  Besides '++' and '+=' et. al.,
A really useful and easy primitive would be the following:

log(string)

This would be a wiz only primitive which would write to the log file the date,
time etc, followed by the string.  This way, wizzes can log things without fi
(ooops)  The wizzes could log important things to the moo's machine, instead
of inside the db.  This seems easy to me, so I may add it myself, if it's
not in a future version.

The next release of the server will include the functions sqrt(number),
requested by someone else, and server_log(string [,is_an_error]), which is a
slight generalization of Barry's idea above.
