Here is our list, sorted by priority/importance:
- poll(1) builtin (AFAIK nothing to do here, it just works)
- Fix job management. The current *design* is broken as described in
lists.research.att.com/pipermail/ast-developers/2013q3/003033.html
- Make typeset -c (copy variables) public
- Fix typeset -c for any bugs you can find
- /dev/file/direct@ should work to open a filesystem node with
O_DIRECT (for performance reasons)
- Fix ar=() to clear an array, currently 'compound -a c=( [4]=(
hello=1) ); c=() ; typeset -p c' prints 'typeset -a c' which is wrong
(missing -C attribute). Its even worse for arrays of types.
- readlink builtin in libcmd for compatibility with existing software
- Test /proc/$pid/fd emulation on Solaris and fix any bugs you find
- Test directory fds and fix any bugs you find
- cd -@ should just work
- /dev/file/xattr@ should work to open a filesystem node with O_XATTR
- It should be possible to *nest* /dev/file/options@.../dev/file/options@...
- It should be possible to combine /dev/file/options@ with /dev/fd$fd
and /proc/$$/fd/$fd, even on Solaris!
- New UWIN alpha

I'm thinking about putting Roland's patch for \u[wchar_val] and
\w[wchar_val] on that list. We don't have much use product-wise for it
now but I see it fixes single byte locales _and_ improves the
situation for non-English languages in ksh93 significantly (French!).
