The {\LaTeX} hackery needs yet another serious pass. Most importantly,
|
||
|
|
long procedure ``declarations'' need to be broken across two lines.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Fix up 0-or-more and 1-or-more parameter typesetting, with subscripts.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Parameter subscripts need to be made real subscripts.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Job control, after \ex{jcontrol.scm}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Static heaps; fast startup.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Gnu readline lib.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Interrupt system.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Make it all coexist with S48 threads as well as can be done for Unix.
|
||
|
|
The DEC SRC tech report gives a good discussion of the issues.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Support for file locking: \ex{(lock-file fd op)}, \ex{with-file-locked}, \ldots
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Testing broken symlinks -- new value for \var{chase?} flag?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Interactive flag machinery
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Rename and release \ex{ensure-file-name-is-\{non,\}directory}.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
More informative errno exception packets \& documentation for them.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Other things should be available: hash tables, sort, list utils, pattern
|
||
|
|
matchers. But things start to overload. The module system is the appropriate
|
||
|
|
way to use these.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Support for writing scripts that use the module language.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Need calls to control port i/o buffering.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Need to do file-control (\ie, \ex{fcntl()}).
|
||
|
|
\ex{fcntl} is ugly.
|
||
|
|
Better to have a procedure for each different operation.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Tty stuff and control tty.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
More documentation for the \ex{wait()} machinery.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
We need a general time/date parser, that can convert strings like
|
||
|
|
``Thursday after Christmas'' into date records.
