   3 All:
   4     - Finish guide.md
   5
   6     - test that *ARGV* gets set properly
   7     - test to make sure slurp captures final newline
   8     - regular expression matching in runtest
   9     - add re (use in rep) everywhere and use that (to avoid printing)
  10     - per impl tests for step5_tco, or at least a better way of
  11       enabling/disabling/tweaking per implementation
  12     - fix stepA soft failures: lua matlab miniMAL perl racket
  13
  14 Other ideas for All:
  15     - propagate/print errors when self-hosted
  16     - redefine (defmacro!) as (def! (macro*))
  17     - Fix/implement interop in more implementations
  18
  19     - metadata on symbols (as per Clojure)
  20     - metadata as a map only. ^ merges metadata in the reader itself.
  21       Line numbers in metadata from reader.
  22     - protocols!

  24         - http://www.toccata.io/2015/01/Mapping/
  25     - namespaces
  26         - environments first class: *ENV*, *outer* defined by env-new
  27         - namespaces is *namespaces* map in environment which maps namespace
  28           names to other environments.
  29         - def! become an alias for (env-set! *ENV* 'sym value)
  30         - Namespace lookup: go up the environment hierarchy until
  31           a *namespaces* map is found with the namespace name being
  32           looked up. Then the symbol would be looked up starting in
  33           the namespace environment. Need protocols first probably.
  34     - Fix quasiquoting of vectors
  35
  36     - multi-line REPL read
  37     - loop/recur ?
  38     - gensym reader inside quasiquote
