Overview

The big feature for this release is the addition of two new subsystems:

loc: object-oriented coding standard (C# language dialect)
lob: object-oriented coding standard (VB.NET dialect)

These subsystems alter how VB6 intrinsic functions and objects are rewritten so the the resulting codes are cleaner and more correct.

All of the coding samples were updated to use the new standard.
