+=item PCT::HLLCompiler stages
+
+The interface various methods for adding, removing, and modifying 
+the list stages in a PCT::HLLCompiler object will likely change
+shortly after the 1.0 release.  (The existing actual stages
+will remain; only the mechanism for specifying the order of
+individual stages is likely to change.)

+=item PCT::HLLCompiler from Perl 5's Test::Harness
+
+In order to facilitate using PCT::HLLCompiler with test harnesses,
+the C<command_line> method of PCT::HLLCompiler object exits silently 
+if it detects that it is being run in a sample run from Perl's
+Test::Harness.  Currently this detection is done by checking the
+second command line argument for "@INC"; future releases may
+use a different detection mechanism or eliminate it altogether.
