The biggest thing I'd like to see changed in TextReader is to get
rid of the explicit blocking -- i.e., to have it read the next block
automatically in the background while I'm reading what's on the screen
and join it seamlessly so I don't have five-second breaks in the
middle of sentences. I mentioned that to him months ago when I first
registered, but that doesn't seem to be on his list of changes to
make, last I saw. Anybody else annoyed at the chunk boundaries?
Maybe if we all write, he'll reconsider. (It can't be too hard to
fix; it just doesn't match his original conception.)
