Nice but not important, unless you mean full tuple redesign (not 
realistic)

MUST HAVE

a bit hard to define it as a single feature as there are many 
issues involved

 From me:

- do at least something about scope
- make possible to disable attributes (aka !final / !pure)
- better user-defined type support (any built-in type must be 
possible to emulate via user aggregate)

In general I most commonly don't want to add new features but fix 
existing ones (in backwards incompatible way) though.
