I introduced a new parser code for the function "prototypes" (from GP point
of view). Namely 'E' for an argument which is a single expression (read by
lisexpr()). 'I' remains the same and accepts a sequence of statements.
All genuine control statements + the constructors (vector/matrix) accept a
seq. All others expect an expr. [ I believe I have correctly updated the
numeric code for Math::Pari ]

  Karim.

P.S: 2.0.18 is forthcoming, so no patches. The CVS repository is up-to-date,
though.
