The "todo" list is primarily in Bugzilla, at least for all the things
that will happen in the near future.

I don't know what this means :-)

This has been a topic of discussion recently; I don't know whether it
would be better to use sed for this, or just build nALFS against the
regex or PCRE libraries and do the search-replace with regexes in nALFS

I think this is probably a good idea, making the output file path
optional would work. Please enter an enhancement request in Bugzilla so
we won't forget about it.
