A prioritized and hopefully realistic Wish List for 2.13

Hmm, lots of wishes. I'm quite confident many of these will get lost unless they are summarized.

I've heard several of these before, but it's a lot easier to decide what to do when suggestions are summed up in the nice fashion of the first post of this thread.

I think that wish lists such as these should somehow provide some form of constructive help for you. Thanks for replying.

Is there any chance of you commenting on the way that the wishes are prioritized? Do you feel this is meaningful? Is it helpful to you? Am I and are we sort of correct in judging which things will take more work than other things?
I ask not primarily because I am greedy to get the changes done which I wish (that too of course!), but primarily because I would like to make as meaningful and as helpful a list as possible.
Thanks much!
