For example, under 'Important Features' I found = 'Add an "indirect goto" byte-code'. Is this still a desired feature That file is a bit misleading. Adding a byte-code is easy; modifying the = compiler is more work, and so is deciding what byte-codes to add and = what they should look like.

Why don't you think of something that you personally would like Emacs to = do that it currently does not, or doesn't do well enough? Or fix = something that annoys you daily in your work? Such issues are never in = short supply, and your time addressing them would be well-spent.
