Changes for version 0.90

This release is going to amsterdam.pm for demonstration. It is supposed to be the first release candidate for a stable 1.00 version (but not all builtins are done yet).
Refactored the settings to control parser behaviour; all kinds of blocks can be wrapped in array refs again
Sun Sep 5

- made routines in Z:Shell not modify $$shell{error}
Sat Sep 4

- PWD is now also logged for interactive use
Fri Sep 3
- Blocks now also can be anonymous subroutines
- Added --plug option to fluff
- Mode can be a class now
Wed Sep 1
- Tweaked the parsing of redirections
- Made output() handle capturing more consequently
- Added command substitution for `..` $(..) and @(..)
Wed Aug 11
- Added the parser stack for word_expansion again
- Renamed {contexts} to {parser} because it contains more then just contexts
- Renamed {parent} to {shell} because I think its clearer

Mon Aug 02
- Made some obscure changes in the StringParser internals, it doesn't use a tied grammar anymore, hope it performs better now

Tue Jul 27
- Added sub shells, it uses the 'SUBZ' context

Sun Jul 25
