8.12 plans

[John Ericson]

In that case I should perhaps try to get in !1102, which makes all the 
fixed-sized prim types always available, in too?

I'm fine either way, but figure it's nice for any CPP to deal with the 
fixed and bignum numeric representation changing across a single 
release, and the schedule gives us time to patch important packages that 
need it between mid-June and the end of September.

Cheers,

John
