+    - The parser should handle more deeply nested parse trees.
+
+      The following will fail -- eval("["*50 + "]"*50) -- because the
+      parser has a hard-coded limit on stack size.  This limit should
+      be raised or removed.  Removal would be hard because the
+      current compiler can overflow the C stack if the nesting is too
+      deep.
