** Implement primitive and higher-level functions to allow filling

-** Implement a smoother vertical scroll facility, one that allows
- C-v to scroll through a tall image. The primitive operations

** Implement intelligent search/replace, going beyond query-replace

enough now that Emacs can encode most chars into utf-8.

-** Switch the Windows port to using Unicode keyboard input (maybe).
- Based on http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms633586.aspx,
- this boils down to (1) calling RegisterClassW function to register
- Emacs windows, and (2) modifying ALL system messages to use Unicode.
- In particular, WM_CHAR messages, which result from keyboard input,
- will then come in encoded in UTF-16.
-
- One advantage of switching to Unicode is to toss encoded-kbd usage,
- which will solve the problem with binding non-ASCII keys with modifiers.
-
- Problem: using this on Windows 9x/ME requires installing the
- Microsoft Layer for Unicode (MSLU), which might not implement all
- the required functionality that is available built-in on Windows XP
- and later. We should not make this change if it would pressure
- users of unauthorized copies of older versions of Windows to
- downgrade to versions that require activation.

image bundle using the :index feature. The ImageMagick "display"
command is also a bit slow, but nowhere near as slow as the Emacs
code. It seems ImageMagick tries to unpack every page when loading the
