• + Scripting: Now commenting at line ends is supported. Comments begin with a double-forward slash (outside of any quotes) and end at the end of the line.
  Examples:
    - $a = <xypath>; assert $a=="<xypath>"; //should not fail
    - $a = <xypath>; //assign XY path
        assert $a=="<xypath>"; //should not fail
    - "getinfo CountSelected"  // comment
        getinfo $count,        // comment
        "CountSelected";       // comment
        assert $count!=0,      // comment
        "You must select a file before running this script!"
• + Scripting: Now block comments (aka C-style comments) are supported. They start with /* (outside of any quotes) and end with the next */ (outside of any quotes) and can span any number of lines.
  Examples:
    - /* This is
      a multi-line
      block comment
      */ msg "hi!";
    - msg /*they can be inserted anywhere!*/ "hi!" /* anytime */;
  
  Remarks on Comments
  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  (1) Line-end and block comments overwrite each other:
        ::msg "Hi!"; // /*this is not a block comment starting...
        ::msg /* //this is not a line end comment starting... */ "Hi!";
  (2) Make sure you don't nest block comments. It is easy to make
      this mistake if you are trying to comment out a large block of
      code:
        /*
        msg 'This is a test'; /* Will cause a problem */
        */
      This, however, will work since // overwrites the /* */ comment:
        //msg 'This is a test'; /* This comment is NO problem */
  (3) Comments are not supported in Quick Scripting! This is
      everywhere where no multiline scripts are possible: So they
      won't work in the Address Bar, PFA, Favorites...
• + Scripting: Now you can nest expressions using parentheses, aka round brackets: ( ). There's no practical limit to nesting depth and superfluous parentheses are silently removed.
  Examples where parentheses are merely decor:
    ::msg "a" . "b";
    ::msg ("a" . "b");
    ::msg ("a") . ("b");
    ::msg (("a") . ("b"));
    ::msg ((("a") . ("b")));
    ::msg "a" . "b" . ();
      = ab
    ::msg "a" . ("b" . "c");
    ::msg ("a" . "b") . "c";
      = abc
    ::msg "a" == "a" . "a" == "b";
    ::msg ("a" == "a") . ("a" == "b");
      = 10
  Examples where parentheses actually make a difference:
    ::msg "a" == "a" . "a";
    ::msg ("a" == "a") . "a";
      = 1a
    ::msg "a" == ("a" . "a");
      = 0
  Examples for nesting errors:
    ::msg ("a" . "b"; // ')' missing!
      = ("a" . "b"
    ::msg "a" . "b"); // '(' missing!
      = a"b")
