Immediately
+ - use 'a'-'z' or 'a-z' instead of [a-z]?
+ - EOF token?
+ - de-genericize?
+ - better toString() methods all around...
+ - foo.add(x)
+ foo.add(y.andnot(x)) ==> this is broken
+ - distinguish Conjunct from Sequence?
+ => !(Conjunct instanceof Reducible)
+ - document the assumption that Sequences that match epsilon
+ must have tag, and that ONLY that tag is returned
+ when the sequence matches epsilon
+ - try to avoid building the parts of the tree that end up getting
+ dropped
+ - double-check all the region logic
+
+ ..................................................
+
+ - paper/techreport opportunities
+ - interaction between RNGLR and follow restrictions
+ - "doomed node" optimization
+
+ - automatically collect time statistics and display
+ - serializable parse tables?
+ - better ambiguity reporting
+ - colorized tree-diffs?
+ - graphviz?
- - Repeat, Sequence, Tree
- - simplify Forest (considerably)
-
- - decent/better error messages
- - fix the location stuff, it's broken
+______________________________________________________________________________
+v1.1
- - copyright notices
- - documentation
+ - Treewalker code compiler?
+ - circular gramars?
+ s = A
+ A = A | "b"
+ - skeleton generator?
+ - precedes restrictions ("<-")
+ - MUST HAVE BETTER ERROR MESSAGES
+ - use for developing java15.g
+ - java15.g
+ - once this is ready, do big announcement
+ - broader regression testing (for stuff like error messages, etc)
+ - More topology untangling [later]
+ - grammar highlighting?
+ - Forest needs a "manual access" API
+ - the unwrap bit in Forest makes it really hard
+ to expose an API for forests
+ - rewriting language? multiple passes?
______________________________________________________________________________
-v1.1
+v1.2
- finalize metagrammar and rdp-op's
- write some grammars
- eliminated statically?
- substring parsing for better error messages
- - "lift" cases:
- - right now I can only lift the last child in a forest... begs
- the question of what the right representation for Forests is
- if we need to be able to do lift operations on it.
- Parameterized LR
- "Regular Right Part" grammars (NP Chapman, etc)

Later
+ - understand and implement the RNGLR "kernel state" optimization.
+ The _Practical Early Parsing_ paper may help.
+
- Partly-Linear-PATR? (O(n^6) unification grammar)
- Implement a k-token peek buffer (for each state, see if it "dead
