I have no idea what bugs would be easy or hard, but these are some of my 
pains that AFAIK no one's working on:

That's the #1 biggest PITA for me, it's blocking a major refactoring I want 
to do asap. I think I figured out something related to the problem (it's in 
the bug report), but I have no idea if it's actually a proper solution or 
not (probably not). The only other thing I'd be able to do at this point is 
run the test suite and probably watch of bunch of stuff break ;)

Not sure if these UFCS issues have been worked on or not:
