Current version (Cataract Creek)
- handle free_type more cleanly??
- change 'labels' to only be created for 'use'
- handle syntax errors better - recover quickly.
- use precedence levels for expressions
- structs
   - const fields
   - anonymous field - array or struct (or pointer to these)
      multiple anon struct ar allowed if they don't conflict
   - [] can apply to anon array field
   - anon struct field gets fields interpolated

- manifest values for arrays and structs [a,b,c]
- yet more operators
     << >> #
     bit-ops & | ~ &~
     op=
- split values so I can have an array of just the value (1 byte for u8)
- integers, unsigned, bitfield, float
- pointers
   - owned or borrowed
   - pure, loaded, overloaded, augmented
   - owned: once, counted, collected
- array slice
- array buffer - can be added to and grows.
- char, string search, regexp search

- allow "do stuff" as a stand-alone statement (scope)

Next version (Govetts Creek):
- functions and procedures
- Finalize what a "main" program looks like.

Much later
- per-field attributes
    constant, stable, add-only, read-only, mutable, owned, borrowed, dependant, pure
- records
- enum
- classes
   - constructors and destructors - or "after" ??
   - vtables, fat pointers, list of approaches
- operators as interface methods
- interfaces, inheritance
- modules, imports and exports
- closures, threads, co-routines, generators
- introspection / reflection ?
      e.g. support serialization
      find function given a string holding the name
      measure coverage, adjust based on performance metrics
      auto-create mock objects
      Is this just parsing the details in the obj file?
- % formatting
- string / slice / strbuf
- parsing library - sscanf equiv, regexp, LALR
- FFI
- GTK
- sockets / http / HTML
- parameterised types, and dependant types
- message passing primitives
- overloading for numbers
- exceptions ??
- ensure list_head type concept can work
- "union" type ??
- pattern matching for destructuring??
- casts??
- typeswitch?
- iso suffixes for number?
- foreach?
- case fall-through or go-to
- break/continue or "next","last"
- algebraic types
