* log: syslog, __file__ and __line__ automatically
* have indexes with all publib-manual pages
* manual pages should be compressed for Debian.
* manual pages should have optional suffix
* install should create target dirs
* several module daddy dirs
* build shared libraries
* create some automatic testing (even if rudimentary)
* config files: write back as well, and retain comments in the original
* getaline: make it possible to restrict the size of one line
* extensible printf; snprintf
* something to replace scanf?
* tab positions
* isxdigit, isodigit
* function to read from file/string C tokens
* ...and C tokens in general?
* guaranteed good random number generator, with randomize
* bitfiles
* dynamic arrays, multidimensional too
* files: length of file, copy files and streams, move files (across disks),
get list of files in a directory, select files in list, do operation
for all/selected files in list (i.e., copy/move/rename/delete)
* strings: approximate matching; non-null-terminated strings; fast strstr
* rfc822 et al mail message handling; UNIX mailbox handling
* dos framework: write program to read the list files to be compiled (scan
the modules directory's subdirectories) and output a BC++ project file
* function to compare strings numerically: abc1 < abc2 < abc10
* strexpandvars
* bitarr: set, clear ranges
* cmp: cmp_uchararr, ucharstr, cmp_schararr, scharstr
* symtab
* fname: /./ -> /
* iset: hashtable+bitmap
* expr: unget_token: error if ungot_count too large
* expr: don't have globals at all
* expr: on errors, free ungot tokens as well
* automatic more for output
* Template: not-explicitly-changing input files
* recognize function keys / other key sequences
* tmpdir - create temporary directory (to be deleted on normal exit)
* handle errno correctly
* dates and times, handle all timezones, all possible times (i.e., as
long a time range as possible), support the timesrc timezone db,
conversions to and from string formats; make it as a replacement
for normal <time.h>?
* incremental searches from arrays (generic)
* file copy, move, rename
* get list of filenames; directory tree; display as ascii
* bm or knp search routines (memfmem[setup], memfrmem, strfstr, strfrstr, f for
fancy)
* compression
* write text on library function design: degrees of tightness (Meyers),
uniform interface, how to deal with errors, try to define function
so it can't fail, use asserts properly to catch errors, don't
blend status codes and useful data, but do otherwise follow the
unix system call interface; memory allocation principles
* allocation of fixed size blocks (handles a few sizes automatically, keeps a list of
freed blocks of the given sizes)
* write better text on the design of the framework, the modules, and their
interface; write tutorial on writing a module
* fname: there is no suffix in ".profile".
