  * TODO:
- * - Win32: In the GUI use a terminal emulator for :!cmd.
+ * - For the "drop" command accept another argument for options.
  * - Add a way to set the 16 ANSI colors, to be used for 'termguicolors' and in
  *   the GUI.
- * - Some way for the job running in the terminal to send a :drop command back
- *   to the Vim running the terminal.  Should be usable by a simple shell or
- *   python script.
+ * - Win32: Make terminal used for :!cmd in the GUI work better.  Allow for
+ *   redirection.
  * - implement term_setsize()
  * - Copy text in the vterm to the Vim buffer once in a while, so that
  *   completion works.
