-============================
-
-There were too many files tracking different thoughts and ideas for
-things to do, or consider doing.  This file merges them into one. As
-tasks are completed, they should be moved to the DONE section, below,
-or simply removed.
-
-Upon creation of a release (major or patch release), items from the
-previous release should be removed.
-
-TODO
-====
-
-Minor Cleanups and Code Improvements
-------------------------------------
-
-	API:
-		??? #if !defined(GAWK) && !defined(GAWK_OMIT_CONVENIENCE_MACROS)
-
-	?? Add debugger commands to reference card
-
-	Look at function order within files.
-
-	regex.h - remove underscores in param names
-
-	Consider removing use of and/or need for the protos.h file.
-
-	Review the bash source script for working with shared libraries in
-	order to nuke the use of libtool.
-
-	Enhance profiling to same comments in a byte-code that does nothing
-	but that can be used when pretty printing the program.
-
-Minor New Features
-------------------
-
-	Enhance extension/fork.c waitpid to allow the caller to specify
-	the options.  And add an optional array argument to wait and
-	waitpid in which to return exit status information.
-
-	Add a readfile() function in awk from mail.
-
-	Make writes to ENVIRON / deletions affect the real environment
-	using setenv / unsetenv.
-
-	Consider relaxing the strictness of --posix.
-
-	? Add an optional base to strtonum, allowing 2-36.
-
-	? Optional third argument for index indicating where to start the
-	search.
-
-Major New Features
-------------------
-
-	Think about how to generalize indirect access. Manuel Collado
-	suggests things like
-
-		foo = 5
-		@"foo" += 4
-
-	Also needed:
-
-		indirect calls of built-ins
-		indirect calls of extension functions
-		indirect through array elements, not just scalar variables
-
-	Fix the early chapters in the doc with more up-to-date examples.
-	No-one uses Bulletin Board Systems anymore.
-
-	Rework management of array index storage. (Partially DONE.)
-
-	Consider using an atom table for all string array indices.
-
-	DBM storage of awk arrays. Try to allow multiple dbm packages.
-
-	?? Some way to make regexp constants first class citizens
-		- Assign to variables
-		- Pass to functions
-
-	?? A RECLEN variable for fixed-length record input. PROCINFO["RS"]
-	would be "RS" or "RECLEN" depending upon what's in use.
-	*** Could be done as an extension?
-
-	?? Use a new or improved dfa and/or regex library.
-
-Things To Think About That May Never Happen
--------------------------------------------
-
-	Consider making shadowed variables a warning and not
-	a fatal warning when --lint=fatal.
-
-	Similar for extra parameters in a function call.
-
-	?? Scope IDs for IPv6 addresses ??
-
-	??? Gnulib
-
-	Look at code coverage tools, like S2E: https://s2e.epfl.ch/
-	
-	Try running with diehard. See http://www.diehard-software.org,
-	https://github.com/emeryberger/DieHard
-
-	Change from dlopen to using the libltdl library (i.e. lt_dlopen).
-	This may support more platforms.
-
-	FIX regular field splitting to use FPAT algorithm.
-		Note: Looked at this. Not sure it's with the trouble:
-		If it ain't broke...
-
-	Implement namespaces.  Arnold suggested the following in an email:
-	- Extend the definition of an 'identifier' to include "." as a valid character
-	  although an identifier can't start with it.
-	- Extension libraries install functions and global variables with names
-	  that have a "." in them:  XML.parse(), XML.name, whatever.
-	- Awk code can read/write such variables and call such functions, but they
-	  cannot define such functions
-	 function XML.foo() { .. }	# error
-	  or create a variable with such a name if it doesn't exist. This would
-	  be a run-time error, not a parse-time error.
-	- This last rule may be too restrictive.
-	I don't want to get into fancy rules a la perl and file-scope visibility
-	etc, I'd like to keep things simple.  But how we design this is going
-	to be very important.
-
-	Include a sample rpm spec file in a new packaging subdirectory.
-
-	Patch lexer for @include and @load to make quotes optional.
-
-	Do an optimization pass over parse tree?
-
-	Consider integrating Fred Fish's DBUG library into gawk.
-
-	Make 	awk '/foo/' files...	run at egrep speeds (how?)
-
-	? Have strftime() pay attention to the value of ENVIRON["TZ"]
-
-	Add a lint check if the return value of a function is used but
-	the function did not supply a value.
-
-	Consider making gawk output +nan for NaN values so that it
-	will accept its own output as input.
-		NOTE: Investigated this.  GLIBC formats NaN as '-nan'
-		and -NaN as 'nan'.  Dealing with this is not simple.
-
-	Enhance FIELDWIDTHS with some way to indicate "the rest of the record".
-	E.g., a length of 0 or -1 or something.  Maybe "n"?
-
-	Make FIELDWIDTHS be an array?

-DONE
-====
-
-Minor Cleanups and Code Improvements
-------------------------------------
-Done in 4.1:
-
-	Review all FIXME and TODO comments
-
-	Fix all *assoc_lookup() = xxx  calls.
-
-	Make GAWKDEBUG pass the test suite.
-
-	Make fflush() and fflush("") both flush all files, as in BWK awk.
-
-	In gawkapi.c - review switch statements and use of default.
-
-	API:
-		awk_true and awk_false
-		Update doc to use gcc -o filefuncs.so -shared filefuncs.o
-			instead of ld ...
-		Have check for name not rely on isalpha, isalnum since
-			the locale could botch that up. Also make it not
-			fatal.
-
-Minor New Features
-------------------
-Done in 4.1:
-
-	Merge the chapter and the appendix on floating-point math (for 4.1).
-
-Major New Features
-------------------
-Done in 4.1:
-
-	Integration of array_iface branch.
-
-	Design and implement I/O plugin API.
-
-	Implement designed API for loadable modules
-
-	Redo the loadable modules interface from the awk level.
-
-	xgawk features (@load, -l, others)
-
-	Merge gawk/pgawk/dgawk into one executable
-
-	Merge xmlgawk XML extensions (via source forge project that
-	      works with new API)
-
-	Integrate MPFR to provide high precision arithmetic.
-
-	Consider really implementing BWK awk SYMTAB for seeing what
-	global variables are defined.
-
-Things That We Decided We Will Never Do
----------------------------------------
-
-	Consider moving var_value info into Node_var itself to reduce
-	memory usage. This would break all uses of get_lhs in the
-	code. It's too sweeping a change.
-
-	Add macros for working with flags instead of using & and |
-	directly.
