#Planned features for release 2.8/2.9

##Floating point precision
* who: Bill
* switch to binary precision
* has already needed a lot of work, will need considerably more;
  a simple version COULD be included,
  a full redesign MUST NOT be included as it will break too many things
  
##Precedence of variables
* who: Karim
* varhigher/varlower MUST be fully supported

##L-functions
* who: Pascal, Henri
* documentation and tests need to be added
* then some non-controversial simple functions SHOULD be added
  (plotting, for instance)
* more functions CAN be added in a later release

##Elliptic curves over finite fields and CM
* who: Hamish
* lots of useful code is already present in the master branch,
  but only a few functions have been exported so far
* public interfaces need to be discussed and fixed
* then the functions decided upon MUST be included

##Algebras over number fields
* who: Aurel
* many functions are already present in the master branch
* some tests and documentation should be added
* the prefix MUST be changed to alg (done)

##Modular symbols
* who: Karim
* only Gamma_0 (N) is supported
* several functions are already present in the master branch
* the prefix stays at ms
* Gamma_0 (1) MUST be supported

##Data structures
* who: Bill
* only used in GP, not the PARI library
* Tree
* Map: associative array, values are stored under keys;
  interface: constructor Map, mapput(M,key,val), mapget(M,key)
* Multimap: as Map, but with several values per key possible
* Set: could be reimplemented, but the constructor Set would then return 
  a different kind of object
* Map and Multimap MUST be added, Set MUST NOT be reimplemented
