   Changes since version 0.0.1:
   
   * Added massive quantities of new documentation and examples
   
   * Full block, loop, and closure support
   
   * High-level functional code generation from trees, with smart labels and
     blocks, constant folding, extensibility, smart local variable names, etc.
   
   * The ``.label()`` method was renamed to ``.here()`` to distinguish it from
     the new smart ``Label`` objects.
   
   * Docs and tests were moved to README.txt instead of assembler.txt
   
   * Added a demo that implements a "switch"-like statement template that shows
     how to extend the code generation system and how to abuse ``END_FINALLY``
     to implement a "computed goto" in bytecode.
   
   * Various bug fixes
