+Fix the kludge that is completer initialization. Make application a global? Try
+to make bufferlist nicer. Add support for vim/emacs mode-setting stuff. Fix
+map_point, and refactor draw_cursor, draw_slot, etc. so that they all use it
+(thus ending once and for all these goddamn cursor-sync bugs). ARGH!
+
+Try to create a buffer abstraction so that things like BinaryBuffer, AESBuffer,
+MboxBuffer, etc, etc don't need special open commands (e.g. you can open a
+buffer, switch it into hex mode, then switch it into AES mode, and have what
+you'd "want" to happen). Maybe this means BufferViews or something?

 Think about what to do with IPerl/IPython.
