In addition to that, a couple of things on my personal plate:
* Now that `defer {}` is available I want to extend try/catch to
permit try/catch/finally, using basically the same mechanism that
defer uses. I don't imagine that'll be contentious though
* What is almost certain to at least raise some eyebrows, would be my
PL_infix_plugin branch, which allows XS::Parse::Infix to work, and
by extension the growing collection of "interesting infix operators"
I have as CPAN experiments. Namely,
https://metacpan.org/pod/Syntax::Operator::Equ
https://metacpan.org/pod/Syntax::Operator::Zip
https://metacpan.org/pod/Syntax::Operator::Divides
and also a Syntax::Operator::In which is so far /so/ experimental
I apparently haven't even put it on CPAN yet.. I thought I had.
Hrm..
I don't quite have anything ready for review to think about merging
to core *yet* though, because I don't think it's had enough features
or battle-testing to justify suggesting that yet.
If we're saying Jan 1st is the contentious freeze, I may have to
step up the pace on that a bit and see where I can get things to by
then...

I could probably take a look at at least some of them *if nobody else
does*, but I have plenty of other interesting things on my plate just
at the moment that I'd prefer someone (anyone? (be careful what you
wish for) ) else to do them.
Happy to provide some hand-holding on them if someone wants to
volunteer themselves though.
