1.9 +ones are provided below.
1.10 +.PP
1.11 +Error reporting is currently very minimal, providing the most basic parsing
1.12 +error details from the scanner and parser. Obviously, this should be improved
1.13 +to make the tool more usable.
1.14 +.PP
1.15 +Validation of input is also minimal, with the tool mostly acting as a kind of
1.16 +preprocessor, generating code that may then not behave exactly as intended,
1.17 +although the code should be well-formed.
1.18 +.PP
1.19 +Interface inheritance is not supported, neither are modules. Both of these
1.20 +things are typically available in other languages describing interfaces.
