          - remove old "bare" import syntax:
              use Function::Parameters 'foo', 'bar';
              # equivalent to
              # use Function::Parameters { foo => 'function', bar => 'method' };

1.0503    2014-10-17
          - skip initializing parameters if the default argument is undef

          - fix bug that prevents building with threaded perls

1.0501    2014-10-13
          - support :prototype(...) for setting the prototype
          - allow fun foo($x =, $y =) (empty default arg equivalent to
            specifying undef)

          - support 'defaults' to base keywords on existing keyword types
          - 'check_argument_count' no longer controls type checks
          - new 'check_argument_types' property controls type checks
          - new 'strict' property does what 'check_argument_count' used to
          - new 'runtime' property lets you define functions at runtime
          - some more tests

          - make t/foreign/Fun/name.t less fragile to support newer Carp

            (https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=83439)
          - only allocate memory after recognizing a keyword like 'fun'

          - new feature: strict argument count checks (off by default)

          - hopefully fix bug where it would get the line numbers wrong
          - we're a lexical pragma now; remove import_into()
          - more fine-grained control over behavior of generated keywords:
             * function name can be optional/required/prohibited
             * invocant name can be any variable, not just $self
             * default attributes (and method now defaults to ':method')

0.05      2011-08-02
          - complete rewrite
          - hopefully fix bug where it would swallow compilation errors or get
            the line numbers wrong
          - method keyword!
