'etc' was referred to classdef as well as any other significant improvement 
that I may not be aware of, which is planned to be included in GNU Octave 3.8 
(or 4.0)...

Perhaps, deciding on 4.0 might be based on what is the main point you want to 
really emphasize with it: is it the GUI? is it JIT? any other? and then see 
when this may be ready for the average user (to avoid good expectations to be 
counterproductive). Finally, according to that you could decide whether next 
version can be better call 3.8 or 4.0, and the most proper time for it to 
appear...
