Unicode support
finish byte <-> utf8 and localencoding <-> utf8 conversions
- make "$bytestr$charstr" do the right conversion
+ make substr($bytestr,0,0, $charstr) do the right conversion
add Unicode::Map equivivalent to core
add support for I/O disciplines
- open(F, "<!crlf!utf16", $file)
- a way to set the "system" discipline (binmode("!crlf!utf16") maybe?)
- nice IO::Filter module to push/pop disciplines
eliminate need for "use utf8;"
- add -C switch that sets ${^WIDE_SYSTEM_CALLS}
support C<print v1.2.3>
make C<v123> mean C<chr(123)> (if !exists(&v123))
autoload utf8_heavy.pl's swash routines in swash_init()
+ check uv_to_utf8() calls for buffer overflow
Multi-threading
support "use Thread;" under useithreads
work out DLL versioning
Miscellaneous
- magic_setisa should be made to update %FIELDS [???]
add new modules (Archive::Tar, Compress::Zlib, CPAN::FTP?)
replace pod2html with new PodtoHtml? (requires other modules from CPAN)
automate testing with large parts of CPAN
