docs: trim the TODO file a bit, and put the more important items first
Remove some things we're never going to do: allowing to replace
newlines, a regression framework, characterset conversions, or
jumping to various screen lines.

A list of desired features
--------------------------
-Vague musings:
-- FriBidi support?
-- Make matching bracket searches sophisticated enough to skip over
- brackets inside comments?
-- Allow indentation of marked text by spaces as well as tabs?
-- Allow indentation to add just enough columns to reach the nearest
- multiple of tabsize, rather than always adding tabsize columns?
-- Allow conversion between different character sets.
-- Allow setting marks (saved positions, not to be confused with the mark
- set via Ctrl-^) at various lines and/or columns in the buffer, and
- allow movement between them with a single keystroke?
-- Allow searching for and replacing newlines?
- See also https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?47053.
-- New regression framework built on expect?
-- Add the ability to move to different lines of the screen with a single
- keystroke, e.g. M-` (M-~) to go to the top line, M-& (M-7) to go to
- the center line, and M-' (M-") to go to the last line?
-
Somewhat urgent:
+- Make undo/redo work also for justifying and indenting.
- Allow text searches in the help viewer.
See https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?28994.
- Detect when text is being pasted, so that we can handle it faster.
See https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?40060.
+- Allow to define and execute a macro: a stored sequence of keystrokes.
+ See https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?50314.
- Allow color syntaxes to apply to more than just color, so that we can
e.g. specify a different alternate spell checker depending on which
file type we have open.
