+  - 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

+  - 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

+  - 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?
