My first project would be to add a symbol for slicing to the end of a 
sequence..

instead of writing:
   my_sequence[1..length(my_sequence)]
you could write my_sequence[1..?], or maybe just [1..]
I think it's more readable to have a symbol in there though..
By using a symbol, instead of a number, you avoid complications with 
slice checking.

I haven't seen the source, but I would expect it to be one of the more 
straight forward revisions you could do.

Another might be to add auto assignment of unassigned function calls.
That's just candy though.. but should be fairly simple. In comparison to 
other mods anyways..

foo(a,b,c)
   would equate to;
VOID = foo(a,b,c)

You could also add support for trailing commas for declarations.
Shouldn't be hard. When a new structure is found, the declaration is 
terminated. This would be greatly appreciated. I'm sure David would 
agree with this one ;)
You might have to add a new structure to deal with this though, to avoid 
naming conflicts.
Something like this...
declare constant
end declare
