Few?  I hope there are none!  Of course there are 'features' that some
people might consider to be bordering on bugs, but generally these
will be things that BBC BASIC has done the same way for thirty years
and aren't likely to change now. :-)

It could probably be said that I am obsessive about fixing bugs; I
don't accept that they are a fact of life.  On the other hand it does
mean that I am ultra-conservative when it comes to adding new
features, because I will often judge the risk of introducing bugs to
outweigh the potential value of the additions.

Does that mean we won't be seeing MAT functions any time soon? 8^(
