- The ability to mark certain frame parts as excluded/hidden when calculating 
group/yank/pack.
- Documentation (or more easily available documentation) on the supplied 
scripts. There are loads of .jl files in the source tree which might provide 
exactly the solution to something that I want to do; but I have no idea what 
the scripts do or when/how they should be used.

- I *hate* 'info'. Documentation in HTML would be great.
- The option to have iconified windows displayed as an icon. I did do some 
experimentation on faking this using shade - but I hit a few snags.

There was some discussion a few months ago on re-writing this in another 
language (something called 'racket' was mentioned at the time). I agree that 
the beauty of sawfish is that it is written in 'a lisp language' and that rep 
appears to be used nowhere else. I have far too little knowledge of the wider 
lisp world to recommend which language; but moving to something more widely 
used might help attract users ( and maintainers?).

On a related note - does anyone know if the great Mr. Harper still uses sawfish 
and whether he has used (or knows of) rep in any other projects?
