Yep, I'm aware of that. I had to double-check with the other Artem
(gtema) on IRC because you made me doubt myself, but those are gaps in
*osc*, not *sdk*. SDK is actually pretty well caught up. And since
it's the future, I've specifically made a point of concentrating on
SDK, and leaving the work to convert osc to using sdk to Monty and
Artem and friends :)
