There are a wide class of possible improvements / fixes that are too small to bother adding to the TODO list, but
shouldstill be recorded somewhere. Recording those improvements in the source code seems better than not recording them
atall.
 

Also, minor improvements to some part of the implementation are typically dependent on their context in the source
code.Since TODO entries are often lacking in context as it is, I don't think trying to move everything to the TODO list
wouldbe wise.
