DKF: Here's some quick notes on things that people want to see done. No particular sorting.

  • Clarity from ActiveState on the TDK's long-term status
  • lsort's -dictionary option ordering to be available in string compare and lsearch.
  • String distance metric (e.g. Levenshtein) via new command: string distance.
  • Standard way of doing async I/O with coroutines
  • Basic beyond-the-BMP support (discussion with chw et al)
    • We think it's enough to convert internally to surrogate pairs in 8.7 when we're using at least the "string" type. Important thing is to be able to take a UTF-8 input from outside Tcl (e.g., of an emoji) and to be able to pass it through and get the same character out at the end when we output the string.

I'm probably missing some. Please add in. (This is temporary area until we fold these into the main wishlists, etc.)
