Some of this may be out of date (as of v0.964).

• CommonLarcenyDocumentation needs updating and improvement
• some way to define subclasses of existing classes
• go over JoeMarshall's work, decide what to do with it
  • e.g. do we keep the generics/multimethod based framework he used?
  • Or try to switch to something with less overhead and a closer match to the runtime model of the CLR?
• integrate the runtime code generation stuff in some sensible way (il-corememory.sch)
  • v0.964 compiles on load
  • Felix has prototyped compile-on-eval, but it isn't part of v0.964
  • problem: the CLR doesn't reclaim storage occupied by classes, so generating a new class for every interaction is nervewracking
    • Felix's prototype avoids this problem
• generate classes at runtime (see il-corememory.sch for inspiration on what to use here...)
  • actclera
• provide syntax for declaring event handlers and attaching them to events - see CommonLarcenyEvents
