Wishlist
Here is a list of features that would be useful, but which I have
too little time to add myself. Contributions are appreciated.
- Write a TclTkProgressBar class.
- Improve/stabilize the GString class.
- Mature the SmartComments classes. Also add AComments and
PComments for assertion and progress/status comments.
If you consider implement some of the above, make sure it is not
already implemented by downloading the latest "devel" version!
