;;; Wishlist items (from widget.texi):

;; * The `menu-choice' tag should be prettier, something like the
;;   abbreviated menus in Open Look.

;; * Finish `:tab-order'.

;; * Make indentation work with glyphs and proportional fonts.

;; * Add commands to show overview of object and class hierarchies to
;;   the browser.

;; * Find a way to disable mouse highlight for inactive widgets.

;; * Find a way to make glyphs look inactive.

;; * Add `key-binding' widget.

;; * Add `widget' widget for editing widget specifications.

;; * Find clean way to implement variable length list.  See
;;   `TeX-printer-list' for an explanation.

;; * `C-h' in `widget-prompt-value' should give type specific help.

;; * A mailto widget. [This should work OK as a url-link if with
;;   browse-url-browser-function' set up appropriately.]
