Certainly there are plenty of ideas in the archives ... but writing
regression tests is so *boring* :-(. This is definitely a weak spot
for a mostly-volunteer project --- it's hard to get anyone to do
that kind of work.

Something that would actually hold some intellectual interest is to
improve the testing infrastructure. The current setup is pretty limited
as to its ability to deal with varying outputs, and even more limited
in its ability to test concurrent behavior. Again, see the archives.
