  * Saving another user's file will only preserve the user when run as root.

  * the glib allocators are fundamentally broken:
    throwing exceptions is unsafe from C-linkage callbacks.

    Each Scintilla view could then be associated with at most

    GTK+ would simply manage a list of windows.
+ * Add a command for manipulating the clipboard.
+   Can be done with ECxclip$ on Unix, but other platforms have
+   better methods (e.g. PDCurses has clipboard extensions, GTK+
+   has native clipboard support). On ncurses/UNIX we can fall back
+   to spawning xclip or copy xclip's functionality.
+   This will also allow us to reverse clipboard modifications.
+ * Program termination should be handled more elaborately.
+   We should register a SIGTERM handler and react window close
+   button presses. PDCurses/win32a allows that by defining a
+   "SHUT_DOWN" function key (see pdcwin.h).
 
 Optimizations:
  * Curses UI: Command line window can be modelled as a pad
    instead of a window. This simplifies things.
+ * Instead of using RTTI to implement the immediate editing command
+   behaviours in Cmdline::process_edit_cmd() depending on the current
+   state, this could be modelled via virtual methods in State.
+   This would almost eradicate Cmdline::process_edit_cmd() and the
+   huge switch-case statement, would be more efficient (but who cares
+   in this case?) and would allow us to -fno-rtti saving a few bytes.
+   However, this would mean to make some more Cmdline methods public and
+   it distributes command line behaviour all over SciTECO instead of
+   concentrating it in the Cmdline class...
  * C++14 is supported by GCC 5 and supports new() and delete()
    operators with a size argument. Replacing these operators
    with versions using g_slice_alloc() and g_slice_free() should
    speed up things, especially Q-Register handling and the undo
    stack.
+   This compiler capability should be checked by the build system.
  * Scintilla: SETDOCPOINTER resets representations, so we
    have to set SciTECO representations up again often
  * commonly used (special) Q-Registers could be cached,
