What is the absolute minimum voltage for the Espruino?

What is the minimum voltage supplied from the battery that the Espruino is expected to function at?

I ask, because the board reference states 3.6v. But the spec sheet for the chip shows a minimum voltage of 2.0v...

The reason I haven't updated it is I'm a little unsure about how well (reliably) the voltage regulator functions when the input voltage is below (or even close to) the voltage it wants to produce - I ought to check that.

It's a bit more uncertain because I changed the regulator for one that draws much less power in the 1v4 revision (which will start showing up soon).

But yes... If you try it, the chip does function down to very low voltages :)
