+Immediately
-______________________________________________________________________________
-pre-1.0
+ - Sensible tree-printout
+ - make Tib.Block extend Tree<>
+
+ - more natural phrasing of metagrammar?
- - Javadoc comments
+ - finalize metagrammar and rdp-op's
- - switch maximal to not-followed-by (~/~)
+ - Deal with the problem of zero-rep productions and whitespace insertion
- should Union.add() be there?
- should Atom.top() be there?
- fix the location stuff, it's broken
- decent/better error messages
+ - substring parsing required
- - finalize metagrammar
+ - write some grammars
- Java grammar
- TeX (math?)
- URL (RFC)
- RFC2822 (email message/headers)
- - WIKI!!! TEX!!!
+ - PL-PATR?
______________________________________________________________________________
-Undecided
-
- - public API for hates/needs
+Soon
- clean up the whole Walk situation
- - cleaner solution to "maximal"?
+
- "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)
+ - Attribute unification
+
+ - serialization of parse tables
+ - inference of rejections for literals
+ - "prefer whitespace higher up" (?)
+ - "ambiguity modulo dropped fragments"?
+ - can this be checked statically?
+ - eliminated statically?

-post-1.0
+Later
- Implement a k-token peek buffer (for each state, see if it "dead
ends" during the next k Phases based solely on state -- ignoring
nodes which are transient in the sense that they have only one
eligible reduction?
- - Implement "GLR syntactic predicates" -- the ability to do
- arbitrary lookahead (ie "followed-by" and "not-followed-by" for
- arbitrary patterns). This enables generalized longest-match and
- lets us drop the Maximal hack.
-
- Re-read Rekers, particularly the stuff on optimal sharing
- Isolate the Element objects from Parse.Table/GSS so we can move
- implement Johnstone's algorithm for "reduced, resolved LR
tables" to eliminate superfluous reductions on
epsilon-transitions.

+Neat Ideas
+
+ - Rekers & Koorn note that GLR Substring Parsing can be used to do
+ really elegant and generalized "autocompletion".
