mal/docs/TODO

All:
    - multi-line read
    - loop/recur ?
    - hash-maps with non-string keys
    - hash-map with space in key string (make)
    - keyword type
    - gensym reader inside quasiquote

    - per impl tests for step5_tco (if possible)
    - regular expression matching in runtest
    - Print full exception when test gets EOF from expect

    - Break out impl eval into step0.5
    - Fix quasiquoting of vectors

    - Get self-host working at earlier step:
        - Move try* to step6
        - Remove macros from mal

    - Implement/fix interop: C#, Java, Mal, PHP, Postscript, Ruby

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

Bash:
    - explore using ${!prefix*} syntax (more like make impl)
    - GC

C:
    - come up with better way to do 20 vararg code
    - GC

C#:

Clojure:

Go:
    - consider variable arguments in places where it makes sense
        https://gobyexample.com/variadic-functions

Java:
    - Use gradle instead of mvn
        http://blog.paralleluniverse.co/2014/05/01/modern-java/

Javascript:
    - interop: callbacks using Mal functions

Make:
    - allow '_' in make variable names
    - errors should propagate up from within load-file

Mal:
    - line numbers in errors
    - step5_tco

Perl:
    - fix metadata on native functions

PHP:

Postscript:
    - add negative numbers

Python:
    - error: python ../python/stepA_interop.py ../mal/stepA_interop.mal ../mal/stepA_interop.mal
    - interop tests

Ruby:
