  10. Has someone collected the ideas, suggestions, and wish-list items?
  11.  
  12. My usual experience with a new language (system, product, etc.) is that what
  13. it WILL do is clearly documented, but what it WON'T do (that you might expect
  14. it to) is only discovered by using it and "bumping into the walls."
  15.  
  16. An (annotated?) collection of wish-list features would help to establish
  17. the boundaries of the language and circumscribe the problem domain in which
  18. it is appropriate.

  20. thanks
