+// If you find this included in a public interface header,
+// something wrong is probably happening.
+
+
+// --------------------------------------------------------------------
+// General library to-do list
+//
+// - Implement policy classes. Structure is mostly there just didn't
+// need it for the first consumer.
+// - Consider Removing 'priority' from the request interface. Its use
+// in an always active class can lead to starvation of low-priority
+// requests. Requires coodination of priority values across all
+// components that share a class. Changing priority across threads
+// is slightly expensive (relative to gain) and hasn't been completely
+// implemented. And the major user of priority, texture fetches,
+// may not really need it.
+// - Set/get for global policy and policy classes is clumsy. Rework
+// it heading in a direction that allows for more dynamic behavior.
+// - Move HttpOpRequest::prepareRequest() to HttpLibcurl for the
+// pedantic.
+// - Update downloader and other long-duration services are going to
+// need a progress notification. Initial idea is to introduce a
+// 'repeating request' which can piggyback on another request and
+// persist until canceled or carrier completes. Current queue
+// structures allow an HttpOperation object to be enqueued
+// repeatedly, so...
+// - Investigate making c-ares' re-implementation of a resolver library
+// more resilient or more intelligent on Mac. Part of the DNS failure
+// lies in here. The mechanism also looks a little less dynamic
+// than needed in an environments where networking is changing.
+// - Global optimizations: 'borrowing' connections from other classes,
+// HTTP pipelining.
+// - Dynamic/control system stuff: detect problems and self-adjust.
+// This won't help in the face of the router problems we've looked
+// at, however. Detect starvation due to UDP activity and provide
+// feedback to it.
+//
+// Integration to-do list
+// - LLTextureFetch still needs a major refactor. The use of
+// LLQueuedThread makes it hard to inspect workers and do the
+// resource waiting we're now doing. Rebuild along simpler lines
+// some of which are suggested in new commentary at the top of
+// the main source file.
+// - Expand areas of usage eventually leading to the removal of LLCurl.
+// Rough order of expansion:
+// . Mesh fetch
+// . Avatar names
+// . Group membership lists
+// . Caps access in general
+// . 'The rest'
+// - Adapt texture cache, image decode and other image consumers to
+// the BufferArray model to reduce data copying. Alternatively,
+// adapt this library to something else.
+//
+// --------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+
+// If '1', internal ready queues will not order ready
+// requests by priority, instead it's first-come-first-served.
+// Reprioritization requests have the side-effect of then
+// putting the modified request at the back of the ready queue.
