+Using chown() is unsafe. (Jinpeng Wei)

+    fileio.c: use fchown() instead of chown()

+'statusline' is drawn over the Omni menu.
+
+Cygwin and Mac OS/X may preserve case for file names but ignore case
+differences.  Use Amiga code?

+"make unixall": remove split in floppy-size archives.
+
+To support mapping <F4> to be used as <F4>{motion}: Add operator that
+executes a user defined function. '[ and '] marks are at start and end of
+text.  ":map <F4> :set opfunc=MyOp<CR>gy".

+Patch from Yasuhiro Matsumoto: ":e ++enc=xxx" keeps encoding for conversion
+errors and illegal bytes.  How about replacing bytes with '?' or not?

 ccomplete:
 - When an option is set: In completion mode and the user types (identifier)
   characters, advance to the first match instead of removing the popup menu.
   If there is no match remove the selection. (Yegappan Lakshmanan)
+- Complete the longest common match instead of the first match?
+- !_TAG_FILE_FORMAT and it's ilk are listed in the global completions
 - When completing something that is a structure, add the "." or "->".
 - When a typedef or struct is local to a file only use it in that file?

+When editing a file "a" that is a symbolic link to "b", while another Vim is
+editing "b", there is no warning.  Follow symlink to make swap file name?
+Patch from Stefano Zacchiroli.

+In diff mode deleting lines is very slow.  E.g., when diffing two .po files
+and then sourcing po/cleaup.vim.
