Right on!

I think there are three classes of enhancement "wish list" items
that people have been suggesting:

	- blue-sky research projects
	- significant known developments that would be a shame to
	  pass up, if one is going to build an OS from scratch anyway
	- minor glitches in historical UNIX that could easily be fixed

The last-mentioned category seems appropriate for GUN, the second
category needs to be thought about, and the first category is asking
too much.
