-- The abort() in bufcat(), html.c, can be triggered via buffmt_includes()
- by running -Thtml -Oincludes on a file containing a long .In argument.
- Fixing this will probably require reworking the whole bufcat() concept.
+Many issues are annotated for difficulty as follows:
+
+ - loc = locality of the issue
+ * single file issue, affects file only, or very few
+ ** single module issue, affects several files of one module
+ *** cross-module issue, significantly impacts multiple modules
+ and may require substantial changes to internal interfaces
+ - exist = difficulty of the existing code in this area
+ * affected code is straightforward and easy to read and change
+ ** affected code is somewhat complex, but once you understand
+ the design, not particularly difficult to understand
+ *** affected code uses a special, exceptionally tricky design
+ - algo = difficulty of the new algorithm to be written
+ * the required logic and code is straightforward
+ ** the required logic is somewhat complex and needs a careful design
+ *** the required logic is exceptionally tricky,
+ maybe an approach to solve that is not even known yet
+ - size = the amount of code to be written or changed
+ * a small number of lines (at most 100, usually much less)
+ ** a considerable amount of code (several dozen to a few hundred)
+ *** a large amount of code (many hundreds, maybe thousands)
+ - imp = importance of the issue
+ * mostly for completeness
+ ** would be nice to have
+ *** issue causes considerable inconvenience
+
+Obviously, as the issues have not been solved yet, these annotations
+are mere guesses, and some may be wrong.
