I have uploaded the current patch I am working off of.  Basically the only difference is a style choice of not having parentheses in automatic unpacking.  I also kept a method in the compiler package that was slated to be removed.

But as of r55280, test_compiler and test_transformer are failing.  I don't know the compiler package at all, so if you can have a look, Tony, I would really appreciate it.
