opendir(), closedir(), seekdir(), rewinddir(), glob(); symlink(),
readlink().
+=head2 -C on the #! line
+
+It should be possible to make -C work correctly if found on the #! line,
+given that all perl command line options are strict ASCII, and -C changes
+only the interpretation of non-ASCII characters, and not for the script file
+handle. To make it work needs some investigation of the ordering of function
+calls during startup, and (by implication) a bit of tweaking of that order.

=head1 Tasks that need a knowledge of the interpreter
These tasks would need C knowledge, and knowledge of how the interpreter works,
Allow to delete functions. One can already undef them, but they're still
in the stash.
+=head2 C</w> regex modifier
+
+That flag would enable to match whole words, and also to interpolate
+arrays as alternations. With it, C</P/w> would be roughly equivalent to:
+
+ do { local $"='|'; /\b(?:P)\b/ }
+
+See L<http://www.xray.mpe.mpg.de/mailing-lists/perl5-porters/2007-01/msg00400.html>
+for the discussion.
+
=head2 optional optimizer
Make the peephole optimizer optional. Currently it performs two tasks as
tokeniser ignores the UTF-8-ness of C<PL_rsfp>, or any SVs returned from
source filters. All this could be fixed.
+=head2 The yada yada yada operators
+
+Perl 6's Synopsis 3 says:
+
+I<The ... operator is the "yada, yada, yada" list operator, which is used as
+the body in function prototypes. It complains bitterly (by calling fail)
+if it is ever executed. Variant ??? calls warn, and !!! calls die.>
+
+Those would be nice to add to Perl 5. That could be done without new ops.
+
=head1 Big projects
Tasks that will get your name mentioned in the description of the "Highlights
Apparently these are quite useful. Anyway, Jeffery Friedl wants them.
demerphq has this on his todo list, but right at the bottom.
