I think it's already implemented (although not available).

Not implemented but not difficult to do.

Should be trivial.

Not difficult, but I'd like to improve the way bit string
are handled.

> 5. Expressions in port maps.

My understanding is that this feature is broken: the anonymous
signal add a delta delay which doesn't explicitly appear in the
sources.  Shouldn't be difficult to implement.

> 6. Block commenting.

Trivial.

> 7. Matching relational operators, matching case statement.

Shouldn't be difficult to implement.

Generics require deeper changes.

Are you using 2008 style arrays ?
