I believe that the most important task is to document it in the manual.  
I was planning to do that eventually, but I haven't found time yet to 
think through how that needs to go.  If you want to get that going, I'd be 
happy to review patches and perhaps write some passages.

Once that's done, it should be easier to get people to test it.  Some 
real-world test cases would be nice.  I figured your CGDB work would lead 
to that.  Also, before we mv push.c yacc.c, I would really like to see 
either Paul or Akim review the output of diff yacc.c push.c.

push.c will be usable regardless of whether we do any of the above.  It's 
just a question of how well tested and documented it is.

Sorry for the delay, and it'll be about another week before I'll be 
reading and responding to email regularly again.
