The breaking directory changes are mostly due to actor (assign_a and
append_a) being in its own module outside the core. I intend to remedy
that. In fact, I already have a copy here with the necessary includes
(and wrappers for append_a --> push_back_a) in core.hpp for backward
compatibility. I didn't commit it yet to make sure that the library
itself and the examples/tests do not rely on it being in the core.

So, again, no, there shouldn't be any code-breaking changes.
