Re: [cdt-dev] API use of some classes (e.g. MapEntrySourceContainer, CSo

Thanks, from the age of it I will just use it and assume that it isn't
likely going anywhere (too far).

CDT 9.0, (a perhaps timely question based on the discussions of API
versioning on the cross-project-issues-dev list).

Thanks
Jonah
