 104 Bytecode codegen: The bytecode codegen has not seen significant use and it is not well understood by any of the active developers.
 105 </p>
 106 </li>
 107 <li>
 108 <p>
 109 Support for <span class="monospaced">.cm</span> files as input: The ML Basis system provides much better infrastructure for "programming in the very large" than the (very) limited support for CM.  The <span class="monospaced">cm2mlb</span> tool (available in the source distribution) can be used to convert CM projects to MLB projects, preserving the CM scoping of module identifiers.
