On my own wish list:
 - An end to scope leakage.  #local scope does not stay local, which
   means that if you write a library, you have to read the minds of
   every other POVer on earth.
 - A call stack postmortem, so you can determine where the parse error
   *really* occurred.

But as jr alluded to, the parser is the biggest monster to be slain in
this software.  It's a recursive descent algorithm and very inflexible.
