+# Future
+
+This document introduces some ideas for future improvements.
+
+## Basic Optimizations
+
+Implement basic optimizations such as common subexpression elimination and
+loop invariant code motion.
+
+Importantly, common subexpression elimination could be used to avoid
+redundant type checks.
+
+## Operation-specific Optimizations
+
+Some operations or combinations of successive operations can be
+replaced with more efficient operations. Examples:
+
+* If `s` is a string, `s[i] == 'x'` doesn't need to construct the
+  intermediate single-character string object `s[i]` but just compare
+  the character value to `ord('x')`.
+
+* `a + ':' + b` (two string concetenations) can be implemented as
+  single three-operand concatenation that doesn't construct an
+  intermediate object.
+
+* `x in {1, 3}` can be translated into `x == 1 or x == 3` (more
+  generally we need to evaluate all right-hand-side items).
+
+## Integer Range Analysis
+
+Implement integer range analysis. This can be used in various ways:
+
+* Use untagged representations for some registers.
+* Use faster integer arithmetic operations for operations that
+  only deal with short integers or that can't overflow.
+* Remove redundant list and string index checks.
+
+## Always Defined Attributes
+
+Somehow make it possible to enforce that attributes in a class are always
+defined. This makes attribute access faster since we don't need to explicitly
+check if the attribute is defined.
