Subject: [ANN] Text::Format 0.52.2

I've done another minor update. It was originally going to be a 
moderately-sized update, but some work that I did ... didn't pan out 
in the tests.

After I finish some other work, I'm going to add module 
Text::Formattable to the package and extend String and Array with 
this module. In this way, you will be able to do:

    "foo".format
    "foo".format!

And get the expected results. There will be ways of setting the 
formatter from the objects themselves, too.

This will tentatively become Text::Format 0.52.3. My question for 
Rubyists at large is -- should I keep the Perl versioning scheme for 
this package? If not, then I think that this potential improvement is 
worthy of a significant version increase (possibly even to 1.0). It 
makes sense to keep MIME::Types at the same major/minor version as 
the Perl package, but Text::Format hasn't been updated since 1998 -- 
it just /works/.
