2013-02-16  v0.6.2

  * change:
      - upgraded from jQuery 1.6.2 to 1.7.1
      - switched inspected strings to be double-quoted instead of single-quoted
      - define-record-type was defining mutator with wrong name like
        'set-book-name!', but fixed to define 'book-name-set!'
      - scoped assertion helpers to BiwaScheme (assert_string, etc)

  * new:
      - added stack traces to exceptions (GH #9)
      - Support hex character literals (eg. #\x41 => #\A) (GH #17)
      - $ and getelem functions can now take 1 or 2 arguments like in jQuery (second optional argument is the scope to search for the selector in)
      - functions and syntaxes:
        o element-has-class-name?, element-add-class-name (fixed),
          element-remove-class-name, element-toggle-class-name
          element-select
        o receive
        o remove-handler! (also, add-handler! now returns a reference to the handler function so that it can be passed to remove-handler!)
        o bitwise-* 
        o regexp-replace-all
        o vector-push! (= Array#push in JS)
      - Node:
        o js-load
        o BiwaScheme.run_file
        o underscore.js is available at BiwaScheme._, underscore.string at BiwaScheme._.str
