-Things to do or at least think about doing in the future. Name in
-parenthesis means that person has taken on this project.

-Zend
-----
- * allow foreach ($array as $k => &$val) syntax. right now we cannot
- traverse an array without copying each element.
- * allow foreach ($array as $k => list($a, $b)) syntax for multi
- dimensional arrays.
- * look at replacing c-lib call tolower().
- * make hash API functions work with HASH_OF() to save time.
- * native large number support (probably with GNU GMP)
- * Const'ify APIs. Right now, many functions leave parameters untouched,
- but don't declare those as const. This makes interaction with other
- interfaces difficult which pass const parameters to us.
- * add try..catch/throw exception handling
- * Add configure test to determine if dlsym() requires underscore and set
- DLSYM_NEEDS_UNDERSCORE accordingly. Perl and zsh have it in configure,
- for example.
-
-global
-------
- * make everything on the language-level independent of your locale setings.
- * make sure all source files have the "right" copyright.
- * make sure that all ZTS globals get destructed. Most ts_allocate_id()
- calls should have a dtor entry.
- * activate all extensions by default that don't rely on external
- dependices. (eg ftp)
- * --enable-all in configure. (--enable-shared=max ...)
- * make configure print out a summary when it's done (like XEmacs)
- * replace standard functions which work on static data with
- reentrancy-safe functions (DONE?).
- * on some platforms unimplemented function will just do nothing (e.g. symlink)
- they should print a warning or not even be defined!
- * implement javadoc based function docs template system.
- * use thread-safe resolver functions (either require BIND 8 or adns).
- * provide optional IPv6 support.
- * make SAPI conform to CGI/1.1. Currently, all SAPI modules
- define REMOTE_ADDR etc. themselves and reach only various level
- of compliance.
- * find a better way to implement script timeouts. SIGVTALRM is used
- by some POSIX threads implementations (i.e. OpenBSD) and is not
- available in ZTS mode.
- * add aliases to functions to conform to new naming conventions, e.g.
- str_to_upper().
- * see what functions might need to be changed to use HashPosition, so
- that the internal array pointer is not affected.
-
-documentation
--------------
- * add remarks in the documentation which functions are not implemented on win32.
- * add remarks in the documentation which functions are not binary-safe.
- * improve documentation for the sablotron extension
- * update curl documentation
- * write documentation for the bzip2 extension
- * write documentation for the zziplib extension
-
-ext/curl
---------
- * Use the cURL write handler to save data for use when returning data or outputting
- data.
- * Have a warning scheme for when people use unsupported features.
-
-ext/dav
---------
- * rewrite.
-
-ext/oci8
---------
- * all OCIFetch*() functions should return 0 for no more data and false on error.
- * have a flag that trims trailing spaces from CHAR fields on retrieval.
- * make allow_call_time_pass_reference=Off working.
- * for additional todo information, see oci8.c, in ext/oci8
-
-ext/pcre
---------
- * Allow user to set PCRE_NOTEMPTY, PCRE_ANCHORED at execution time, maybe
- * add option to preg_grep() to return entries that _don't_ match
-
-ext/sablot
-----------
- * Re-write the error handling and reporting interface
- * Cleanup the underlying code a bit
- * Add proper support for the message handlers
-
-ext/session
------------
- * maybe implement finer-grained session variables that could be
- locked individually.
- * write a network-transparent storage back-end with fallover
- facilities
- * provide a callback facility which is executed upon encountering
- an unknown classname during deserialization
-
-ext/sockets
------------
- * Make the extension work on windows (Daniel Beulshausen)
- * Make the extension work with Solaris and the Sun GCC
-
-ext/standard
-------------
- * add a version number to data serialized via serialize().
- * array_add(). (Andrei)
- * possibly modify parsing of GPC data to automatically create arrays if
- variable name is seen more than once.
- * implement regex-cache for url-functions.
- * stri_replace(). (Andrei)
- * move socket related functions to fsock.c.
- * NOT binary safe:
- strtok()
- basename()
- dirname()
- strrpos()
- strrchr()
- strip_tags()
- * rewrite win32 SMTP code to be useable for *ix to, maybe as a (default)
- module of its own (Hartmut)
-
-ext/zziplib
-------------
- * more fully support the zziplib api
-
-ext/wddx
---------
- * See if we can support the remaining datatypes:
- dateTime
- binary
- recordset
-
- http://www.wddx.org/WDDX_SDK_10a/7__References/WDDX_DTD.htm
- (Andrei)
-
- * implement wddx_packet_as_javascript(). (Andrei)
-
-other cool stuff
-----------------
- * PVM extension
