+@item Write a real testsuite for gstep-base and possibly other
+libraries, perhaps using guile. [5, Guile, gstep-guile] (980629)

 @item
 Many implementations could be made more efficient.  The library hasn't
 been efficiency tuned very much.  Overridding more methods in certain
 classes could make things more efficient (especially EltNodeCollector).
 SplayTree's could be done using top-down splaying.  collhash could be

-@item You can't add __attribute__'s to methods.  I want to use:

-   - (int) readFormat: (const char *)format, ...
-       __attribute__ ((format (scanf, 1, 2)));

-argument to @@encode() and get a type string like the selector types.

+@item Separate core and non-core code in NSDictionary, NSSet, etc, the
+same way I did for NSArray. (970101)

-sort of way that Smalltalk does.  Talk to me.  mccallum@@gnu.ai.mit.edu.
+@item Separate Constant and non-Constant collections for the rest of the
+GNU connection classes the same way I did for Array. (970101)
+
+@item Make sure the GNU Archiver/Unarchiver handle
+-encodeConditionalObject: and -decodeObject: correctly. (970101)
+
+@item Make sure that Encoder's properly release their CStream and
+Stream's.  It seems that the Stream is not getting -delloc'ed, and
+therefore may not be closed, and therefore may be missing data at the
