Getting ready for release means that we need to rest assured that everything is
operating as it should. Tests do an excellent job at aiding in this, but they
cannot cover everything. For example, a simple missing comma in a variable
declaration list could have terrible, global consequences.
- This commit was originally many. Unfortunately, certain Git objects became
corrupt shortly after my 500th commit due to HDD issues. Due to the scope, I
was unable to recover the set of commits I needed (after an hour of trying
every method).
- Fortunately, vim's swap files came to the rescue. Had I been able to
properly shut down my PC, I would have been rather frustrated.
