Such a thorough job!  Pity, though, that this intro. sentence apparently 
catalogues things he considers better designed in various ways, rather
than future targets:  "The language events which have made an update
desirable are the introduction of Java, the wider availability of more
stable versions of Eiffel, and the finalisation of the Ada 95 standard."
