So noted, Marc, thank you.

Tony did mention that the operations on 
genericode files were not yet mature enough to 
include in an early release of the standard, 
which is why he was tasked with separating the 
requirements into two:  those we agree to put 
into 1.0, and those we agree to such that 
anything we put into 1.0 doesn't (at our best 
effort) prevent the requirements from being implemented in a future version.

So the operation of a user of genericode 
specifying the merger of multiple lists or values 
is an agreed upon requirement, but not for our first imminent release.

As I understand it.
