* Replace the abundant files in <code>liboctave/operators/</code> with modern C++ templates?  (Seems like use of modern C++ templates might work) '''Start a Discourse thread on what code pattern to use'''

* Update binutils in Octave for Windows from 2.40 to 2.44 on the release branch of MXE Octave now? '''Done by Markus'''

* How to proceed with updating <code>mod</code>/<code>rem</code>.  Current implementation gives nonsensical results for large values ([https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?45481 bug #45481]) and incorrect results for <code>values > 2/3 flintmax ()</code> ([https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?67339 bug #67339]).  Results are also not ''exactly'' Matlab compatible for various corner cases (I can't find the exact threshold they are using to determine when something is within round-off error of 0) '''Arun has fix implemented for bug #67339.  Thus, pressing need to resolve other problems with `mod` is gone'''

* The F5 key (save and run code) in GUI is broken in Windows because of the operating system's poor timestamping ([https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?67340 bug #67340]).  This issue has come up repeatedly.  Can we resolve it, even with a hack, so that we don't get more complaints and bug reports about it? '''jwe will look at changing GUI code to have save operation emit a signal when file save has finished.  Only then will GUI advance to running the file.'''

* Should we discontinue <code>NA</code>?  Implementation relies on bit signature in value that represents <code>NaN</code>.  Not all CPUs seem to respect this.  '''Expand documentation on how to use NA properly.  It may not be preserved in numerical context'''
