6
7   Fix  memory  leak  related  to  aliasrun().  Precmd,  Cwdcmd etc. leak
8   memory.
9     _________________________________________________________________

11   Fix migrate -site $$... Seems to hang... (aix370)
12     _________________________________________________________________
13
14   Fix history in loops.

17   New idea: sed operations on variables.
18
19   Lots  of  people  seem  to  like  the  idea  to be able to do sed type
20   operations  on  shell variables. Maybe we can extend the syntax of the
21   variable  editing  to understand string operations. So I would like to
22   be able to use:
23
24    > set a="this is a STRING"
25    > echo $a:[3-]
26    is is a STRING
27    > echo $a:[#]
28    16
29    > echo $a:[6-7]
30    is
31    > echo $a:[-2]
32    ng
33    > echo $a:[-20]
34    Subscript out of bounds.
35    > echo $a:[2-20]
36    Subscript out of bounds.
37    > echo $a:[1-1]:u$a:[2-].
38    This is a string.

41   Fix pipelines that contain builtins so that they behave correctly.
42
43   I  tried  to  fix  that (most of the code is in sh.sem.c, but it works
44   only  for  non  POSIX  machines  cause otherwise the setpgid() I added
45   fails).
46     _________________________________________________________________
47
48   Fix the correct code... How to do that involves A.I....
49     _________________________________________________________________
50
51   Rewrite  the  whole  thing.  It  has  taken  to  much beating over the
52   years...
53     _________________________________________________________________
54
55   Add  another  hook  like  precmd  to  be executed after the prompt but
56   before the command.
57     _________________________________________________________________
58
59   Add instructions for using configure in the README file.
