- Find a way to avoid interpolation/reparsing in "foo($bar)" tokens.
See the "sieve" and "ary" bench performances, result of this problem.
(to compare with sieve_dict is also useful.)
+
+ * This is difficult considering the way tokens are parsed
+
- Experiment with better ways to do literal sharing.
+
+ * Currently literal sharing is completely removed. Can it be made
+ efficient? What is the cost vs. benefit?

- Organize the 'script' object so that a single data structure is
used for a full command, and interpolation is done using an
'interpolation token type' like JIM_TT_VAR and so on.
This way there is no need to run the array of integer objects
with the command structure. Also should help for better cache usage.
-- Generate .c from Jim programs, as calls to the Jim API to avoid
- the performance penality of Jim_EvalObj() overhead. In the future
- try to generate the calls like a JIT emitting assembler from
- Jim directly.
IMPLEMENTATION ISSUES
- Objects lazy free.
+
- Rewrite all the commands accepting a set of options to use Jim_GetEnum().
+
- Every time an extension is loaded Jim should put the dlopen() (or win32
equivalent) handle in a list inside the interpreter structure. When
the interpreter is freed all this handles should be closed with dlclose().
+
- *AssocData() function should allow to specify a delProc C function like
- in the Tcl API. When the interpreter is destroied all the delProc functions
+ in the Tcl API. When the interpreter is destroyed all the delProc functions
should be called to free the memory before to free the interpreter.
-- Convert dicts from lists directly without to pass from the string repr.
