+Language Spec.
+
+- Class#allocate - basicNew
+- class Foo::Bar<Baz .. end, module Boo::Bar .. end
+* 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
+* Fixnum 0 as false ????
+* 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.
+* a +1 to be a+1, not a(+1).
+* unify == and eql? again
+* to_i returns nil if str contains no digit.
+* raise exception by `` error
+* jar like combined library package. -> RubyGems?
+* resumable Exception via Exception#resume.
+* 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()"
+* clarify evaluation order of operator argument (=~, .., ...)
+* :symbol => value hash in the form of {symbol: value, ...} ??
+
+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
