Some things I would like to see in a future version of AmigaVision,
but didn't see anybody mention similar things:

1. Simpler handling of brushes in AV-Graphics, let them be removed
   easier.
2. Allow anim brushes (plus sprites, for item 3.) with icons/commands
   similar to AmigaBASIC BOBs.
3. With 2., allow for programmable mouse pointer, at least its shape,
   perhaps also programmable motion.
4. Allow reading of sequential files (perhaps use existing database 
   routines for most parts of this), let single lines and/or words
   (make this choosable) read into variables. Add boolean function
   eof().
5. During wipes in AV-Screens, also gradually interpolate color
   palettes.
6. Make a software interface public to attach alternative input
   devices.

Items 3 and 6 are thought for something I have in mind, a *very*
cheap replacement for a touch screen. (I won't tell more in the
moment.)
