Out of this list, things I've been toying with include:

		object interfaces
		prototypes ?
		overhauling the Smalltalk compiler
		parameterized automatic source formatting ( I foolishly publicly volunteered for this )

I think this is a good working set, as these can ( perhaps should ) influence
each other's evolution.  In addition to this, introducing modularity is
somewhat related ( via the interfaces, which I think need to be there if
we are to have good modularity mechanisms, and via the compiler, which needs
to be aware that not all of the bindings are neccessarily going to be available,
and not just because things are 'undeclared' ).  I've touched on this a bit as well.

I'd be interested in hearing from others with similar interests!
