** Make occur handle multi-line matches cleanly with context.

* Important features:

** Provide user-friendly ways to list all available font families,
  display a font as a sample, etc.  [fx is looking at multilingual
  font selection for Emacs 22.]

** Program Enriched mode to read and save in RTF.  [Is there actually a
  decent single definition of RTF?  Maybe see info at
  http://latex2rtf.sourceforge.net/.]

** Implement a clean way to use different major modes for
  different parts of a buffer.  This could be useful in editing
  Bison input files, for instance, or other kinds of text
  where one language is embedded in another language.

** Give start-process the ability to direct standard-error
  output to a different filter.

** Make desktop.el save the "frame configuration" of Emacs (in some
  useful sense).

  ignoring X resources (Doze equivalents?) and most of the
  environment.  What should not be ignored needs consideration.

** Investigate using the language environment (or locale?) to set up
  more things, such as the default Ispell dictionary, calendar
  holidays, quoting characters?,...

** Improve the GC (generational, incremental).  (We may be able to use
  the Boehm collector.)  [See the Boehm-GC branch in CVS for work on
  this.]

** Add horizontal scroll bars.

** Provide an optional feature which computes a scroll bar slider's
  size and its position from lines instead of characters.

** Make the Custom themes support do useful things.

** Add support for SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) rendering to
  Emacs.

** Allow unknown image types to be rendered via an external program

  where one language is embedded in another language.

** Arrange a way for an input method to return the first character
  immediately, then replace it later.  So that C-s a with
  input method latin-1-postfix would immediately search for an a.

  output to a different filter.
