  - Look into config option to change the working directory

  - Add a way to set env variables either 1) for the current process, and/or 2) as a parameter to #system (i.e. after fork in the child process).

* STUFF THAT IS PROBABLY GONNA GET DONE

  - Finish port proxy support: resizing, input, security

  - look into transparent drawing

  - if error pcre.h, need export C_INCLUDE_PATH= where it locate

  - The #else command could follow a #foreach so as to create "for-else" loops
    in case a loop is not broken.

  - Add #line gag 2 +2 -2 support.

  - Work on VT2020 protocol (mouse click)

  - $var[%*][%*] support.

  - there might be a terrain density bug
  - provide the coordinate of the X on the vtmap.

  - vt map doesn't utilize all available space.
  - Request: 'stop' #map center command, so i could see how the 'user' moves, rather map moves around him? 
  - #map uninsert <vnum>
  - make map spacing easier
  - add configurable default symbol
  - exit symbol?
  - more data to #map list saving, and maybe easier sorting of tables.
  - event for failed #map move.

    #draw titanic

  - proper vt100 skip detection for improper color codes.

  - Make { match both a { and \x7B as it's an annoying issue to debug.

  - Add VT100 filter to make outside sources respect terminal size constraints, also needed to run bash in vsplit mode.

  - Remote script loading

  - add class specific debug
  - better class event and class size handling ?

  - more potent long-click handling including held down ticks.

  - look into discord api / arachnos

* STUFF FOR A RAINY DAY

  check https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_50_0/libs/regex/doc/html/boost_regex/syntax/basic_extended.html

- cursor extension for vim

- interactive script tutorial

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* STUFF I'M NOT SURE ABOUT

- Keep last input visible with repeat enter enabled.

- would be nice to have "#map list" show the variable being filtered on, instead of defaulting to roomname ie, I'm currently writing a script to save "#map list {roomnote} {{\w+}}" into a variable, then map get roomnote for each item in the list and display it...would be nice if when listing for a roomnote, it showed the roomnote

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* STUFF THAT WON'T BE IMPLEMENTED

- Lua or any other scripting language, focus is on developing tintin scripting.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* ISSUES

- TinTin++ only allows 1 action triggering per line.

- TinTin++ probably should substitute escapes in if checks.

- TinTin++ is not handling #return inside #regex intuitively.
