* C-c C-c should accept an expression and create a with. (does it do this already?) Or there should be another key combo to create a with.
* C-c C-c should work from inside complex expressions, not just when the RHS is a single hole. Variables know where they are bound, and the RHS can be duplicated and specialized.
* A key combo to rename a variable in scope. [should this include occurrences outside the current module? in general that would require an IDE-style project system ...]
* Undo without reload.
* Preview for agsy and null refine. [maybe redundant with the above]
* A key combo to suck the region into a hole.
* A key combo to expand a hole to the next higher node in the syntax tree.
! More consistent yellow highlighting during smart editing without reload.
! Don't create case splits that won't compile. [moar detail]
= records
* Record syntax should work as a block too, not just with explicit brackets.
* Record syntax should allow pattern matching when defining a function.
* Record fields should be in scope when defining further fields.
* Individual record field definitions should be able to have where clauses.
* A record field should be definable by an inline data declaration if its type permits.
= misc syntax
* Mixfix sections: ‘_+ 3’ and ‘3 +_’ should translate to ‘\lambda x -> x + 3’ and ‘_+_ 3’ respectively.

Hello!
I have implemented the first position on this list a few days ago as a part of my improvements to agda-mode project. The current version actually supports 3 flavors of with-expression generating from a goal (one of them performs an automatic pattern matching on the result expression). The code can be found here: https://github.com/wjzz/Agda-mode-improvements
Right now some features are not mentioned in the docs, but I plan to improve them and announce it on the mailing list further this week.
