Version 0.20

The DBOS is currently at version 0.20. This means the KMAL language is Turing complete but lacks the set operation semantics. The YAY incremental parser specification is complete and provides a start to adding macro features to KMAL.

To help give perspective, a table of approximate goals and thier corresponding version numbers are provided.
