* Small but important fixes needed in existing features:

** Make vc-checkin avoid reverting the buffer if has not changed after
   the checkin. Comparing (md5 BUFFER) to (md5 FILE) should be enough.

** Make vc-annotate show place the cursor in the annotate buffer at the 
   same line as the current buffer.

** buffer-offer-save should be a permanent local.

** revert-buffer should eliminate overlays and the mark.

** M-! M-n should fetch the buffer-file-name as the default.

** Redesign the load-history data structure so it can cope better
  with evaluating definitions of the same function from different files,
  recording which file the latest definition came from.
  
* Important features:

** Provide user-friendly ways to list all available font families,
   list fonts, display a font as a sample, etc.  [fx is looking at
  multilingual font selection for the Unicode branch of Emacs.]

  in a Custom buffer using customize-customized.

** Emacs Lisp mode could put an overlay on the defun for every
  function that has advice.  The overlay could have `after-text' like "
  [Function has advice]".  It might look like
     (defun foo [Function has advice] (x y) 
  The overlay could also be a button that you could use to view the advice.

** ange-ftp
*** understand sftp
   This is hard to make work because sftp doesn't print status

 compiled and don't warn about functions defined in them.

** Highlight rectangles (`mouse-track-rectangle-p' in XEmacs).  Already in CUA,
  but it's a valuable feature worth making more general.

** Support simultaneous tty and X frames.  [See the multi-tty branch of Emacs 
  at http://lorentey.hu/project/emacs.]

** Provide MIME support for Rmail using the Gnus MIME library.  [Maybe
  not now feasible, given Gnus maintenance decisions.  fx looked at
  this and can say where some of the problems are.]

   on each side of the bar (what to do at the edges?).
