One thing I'd like to see for 1.6 is some utility routines abstracted
out into libraries. I've already taken Paul's print routines and
rewhacked them into libprint.a, fixing a number of bugs in the process
(which were benign since rc didn't exercise them.) It's a little
bigger (5K vs 2K) but it does lots more (famous last words, I know).
If anyone wants to check it out, you can ftp it from
ftp://groucho.cse.psu.edu/pub/scott/print.shar
If similar things were done to the globber and glomer you could get
shell globbing in other programs (in opposition to the unix tradition
of not reusing code.)
