* Small but important fixes needed in existing features:
-** Fix the kill/yank treatment of invisible text. At the moment,
+** Fix the kill/yank treatment of invisible text. At the moment,
invisible text is placed in the kill-ring, so that the contents of
the ring may not correspond to the text as displayed to the user. It
ought to be possible to omit text which is invisible (due to a
text-property, overlay, or selective display) from the kill-ring.
+** Redefine define-generic-mode as a macro, so the compiler
+ sees the definitions it generates.
+
* Important features:
** Provide user-friendly ways to list all available font families,
properly with variable-pitch faces.
** Implement a smoother vertical scroll facility, one that allows
- C-v to scroll through a tall image.
+ C-v to scroll through a tall image. The primitive operations
+ posn-at-point and posn-at-x-y should now make it doable in elisp.
+
+** Implement intelligent search/replace, going beyond query-replace
+ (see http://graphics.csail.mit.edu/~rcm/chi04.pdf).
** Implement other text formatting properties.
*** Footnotes that can appear either in place or at the end of the page.
* Other features we would like:
+** ange-ftp
+*** understand sftp
+*** Use MLS for ange-ftp-insert-directory if a list of files is specified.
+
** Ability to map a key, including all modified-combinations.
E.g map mouse-4 to wheel-up as well as M-mouse-4 -> M-wheel-up
M-C-mouse-4 -> M-C-wheel-up, H-S-C-M-s-double-mouse-4 ->
at the same time and do it in a context-sensitive way.
*** ability to add mode-specific data to the partial-parse-state.
+** Add a way to convert a keyboard macro to equivalent Lisp code.
+
** Have a command suggestion help system that recognizes patterns
of commands which could be replaced with a simpler common command.
It should not make more than one suggestion per 10 minutes.
** Save undo information in special temporary files, and reload it
when needed for undoing. This could extend undo capacity.
-** Merge the Emacs regex.c with the Glibc regex.c.
- They split off a few years ago through negligence.
-
** Change the Windows NT menu code
so that it handles the deep_p argument and avoids
regenerating the whole menu bar menu tree except
** Implement popular parts of the rest of the CL functions as compiler
macros in cl-macs.
+** Make compiler warnings about functions that might be undefined at run time
+ smarter, so that they know which files are required by the file being
+ compiled and don't warn about functions defined in them.
+
** Highlight rectangles (`mouse-track-rectangle-p' in XEmacs). Already in CUA,
but it's a valuable feature worth making more general.
** Support simultaneous tty and X frames. [For a partial
implementation, see tla branch

** Provide MIME support for Rmail using the Gnus MIME library. [Maybe
not now feasible, given Gnus maintenance decisions. fx looked at
list in a menu, let you select one of the values, and put it into some
other variable, without changing the value of `values'.
-** Fix skip-chars-{for,back}ward to allow character classes.
-
** (Controlled by a flag) make open and close syntax match exactly,
i.e. `(' doesn't match `]'.
** Add an inferior-comint-minor-mode to capture the common set of operations
offered by major modes that offer an associated inferior
- comint-derived mode. I.e. basically make cmuscheme.el generic.
