+make thrift a proper OTP application
+ * app-wide configuration (do DNS lookups?)
+ * default protocols / transports (forget this factory business)
+ * factor for elegance

+tutorial client
+
+make all methods effectful, remove the special casing (optionally, implement monads for Erlang)
+
+change objects from {record_tag, ...} to {oop_object, {record_tag, ...}, other_useful_stuff}
+so 1) we know exactly what's an object (can write is_object/1) e.g.
+      is the tuple {tTransportException, ...} an object or a tuple that happens to start with that atom?
+      we can't check this using is_record/2 without include every header file
+      also, this makes it easy to pick objects out of deep tuples
+   2) we can build more functionality into oop later if need be
+      carry around the class/superclasses so is_a(Object, ClassOrSuperclass) is easy
+   3) maybe hack up io:format and friends to run objects through oop:inspect automatically
+
+Currently we can't distingish a method exiting in the middle with an undef or function_clause from a method not being defined in a module.  Big example: if the generated code can't be called at tErlProcessor.erl:63, it will exit with a missing_method not because tErlProcessor:process/3 is undefined, but because GP:process/3 is undefined, but the error makes it seem like the former happened.  The oop code needs to be smarter -- I think it's possible to either a) hook into Erlang's missing function handler or b) do some introspection to determine directly whether a function is defined, rather than trying to infer from the exit.

+test suites
+
+move as much (program logic) as possible out of thrift_logger
+
+make thrift_logger 100% robust
+
+thrift_logger detects term width?
+
+undisgustify codegen
+
+move away from thrift_oop_server shim to straight-up gen_servers
+
+move away from Factories
+
+move away from ?L0, ?M0, and friends ... make calls in oop or individual modules (like gen_servers should be)
