-Language Spec.
-
-- Class#allocate - basicNew
-- class Foo::Bar<Baz .. end, module Boo::Bar .. end
-- raise exception by `` error
-- a +1 to be a+1, not a(+1).
-- clarify evaluation order of operator argument (=~, .., ...)
-- :symbol => value hash in the form of {symbol: value, ...} ??
-* operator !! for rescue. ???
-* objectify characters
-* ../... outside condition invokes operator method too.
-* ... inside condition turns off just before right condition.???
-* package or access control for global variables??
-* named arguments like foo(nation:="german") or foo(nation: "german").
-* method to retrieve argument information (needs new C API)
-* multiple return values, yield values.  maybe incompatible ???
-* cascading method invocation ???
-* def Class#method .. end ??
-* def Foo::Bar::baz() .. end ??
-* I18N (or M17N) script/string/regexp
-* discourage use of symbol variables (e.g. $/, etc.) in manual
-* discourage use of Perlish features by giving warnings.
-* non confusing in-block local variable (is it possible?)
-  + remove scope by block
-  + variables appears within block may have independent values.
-* Regexp: make /o thread safe.
-* decide whether begin with rescue or ensure make do..while loop.
-* unify == and eql? again
-* to_i returns nil if str contains no digit.
-* jar like combined library package. -> RubyGems?
-* method combination, e.g. before, after, around, etc.
-* .. or something like defadvice in Emacs.
-* property - for methods, or for objects in general.
-* "in" modifier, to annotate, or to encourage assertion.
-* selector namespace - something like generic-flet in CLOS, to help RubyBehavior
-* private instance variable (as in Python?) @_foo in class Foo => @_Foo_foo
-* warn/error "bare word" method, like "foo",  you should type "foo()"
-
-Hacking Interpreter
-
-- generational GC
-* non-blocking open (e.g. for named pipe) for thread
-* avoid blocking with gethostbyname/gethostbyaddr (use fork ???)
-* objectify interpreters ???
-* remove rb_eval() recursions
-* syntax tree -> bytecode ???
-* scrambled script, or script filter
-* setuid ruby
-* performance tune for in-block (dynamic) local variables.
-* give warnings to assign magic variables.
-* export rb_io_{addstr,printf,puts,print}
-* autoload should work with threads [ruby-talk:4589]
-* remove stdio dependency from IOs.
-* warn for inconsistent local variable usage (lv m and method m at the same time). 
-* MicroRuby
-* Built-in Interactive Ruby.
-* Parser API
-* trap every method invocation, which can be enabled by e.g. trap_call :method.
-* unify Errno exceptions of same errno, or new exception comparison scheme.
-* 2.times{|i| if i==0 then a = 15 else puts eval("a") end} should print nil.
-* Thread#max_stack_size attribute (possible??)

-Standard Libraries
-
-- Module#define_method which takes a name and a body (block, proc or method).
-- Enume#inject
-- Array#fetch
-- IO::for_fd
-- Process::waitall [ruby-talk:4557]
-- Process::Status
-- File::lchown, File::lchmod; xxx - still need work for non existing platforms
-- move Time::times to Process.
-- Enumerable#sort_by for Schwartzian transformation
-- fork_and_kill_other_threads.
-- signal list (Signal::trap, Signal::list).
-- move NameError under StandardError.
-- Integer#to_s(base)
-- Hash::new{default}
-- hash etc. should handle self referenceing array/hash
-- Array#select(n1,n2...) works like Array#indexes(n1,n2...)
-- use Mersenne Twister RNG for random.
-- deprecate Array#indexes, and Array#indices.
-- remove dependency on MAXPATHLEN.
-- String#scanf(?)
-* Object#fmt(?)
-* Time::strptime
-* Integer[num], Float[num];  Fixnum[num]?
-* method to retrieve non-number trailer for to_i/to_f.
-* Stream or Port, abstract superclass of IO ?
-* String#{pred,prev}, String#downto
-* optional stepsize argument for succ()
-* Ruby module -- Ruby::Version, Ruby::Interpreter
-* introduce Boolean class; super of TrueClass, FalseClass
-* synchronized method - synchronized{...}, synchronized :foo, :bar
-* Array#&, Array#| to allow duplication. ???
-* way to specify immortal (fork endurance) thread;
-* or raise ForkException to every thread but fork caller.
-* new user-defined marshal scheme. _dump(dumper), _load(restorer)
-* library to load per-user profile seeking .ruby_profile or ruby.ini file.
-* warning framework (warn, warning for Ruby level)
-* marshal should not depend on sprintf (works bad with locale).
-* ternary arg pow: a.pow(b,c) == a**b%c
-* new caller(), e.g. call_stack; needs better name.
-* pointer share mechanism similar to one in String for Array.
-* require "1.6" etc. by /usr/lib/ruby/1.6/1.6.rb ;-)
-* save both "feature names" and "normalized path" in $"
-* implement Mutex_m (or MutexMixin) using Mutex.
-
-Extension Libraries
-
-* ptk.rb pTk wrapper that is compatible to tk.rb
-* Berkeley DB extension
-* BitVector
-* thread-safe fcgi
-
-Ruby Libraries
-
-- urllib.rb, nttplib.rb, etc.
-* format like perl's
-
-Tools
-
-* freeze or undump to bundle everything
-* bundle using zlib
