thanks Allan.
Now, as its seems most things i ask for are either possible already (a documentation / exploration issue) or things you're already planning sensibly I think I'll lurk on the list & experiment with automation to keep myself busy till the next beta ;)

I'd love to see a good regular expression composer (Komodo does this superbly, Kdevelop well too).
I think such a thing could just as well be an external tool.
Autocompletion, when it works really well (knows the available methods of the object you've just typed; knows the classes & variables you've defined on this page and elsewhere in the project) is one of the best things an editor can do for you.
It's also probably insanely involved and language-specific, so the best we could hope for is a well-considered, powerful way for bundles to get this done with a minimum of overhead or inconsistency. I'm not sure what's currently possible or planned here but it's not doing what i wished for out-of-the-box.
Well yes -- it's certainly planned, but let's take one thing at a time. If you've followed this mailing list you should know that I do have my plate full with stuff I need to do.
If i wish to paste the second-last thing i copied, I should be able to tap cmd-shift-v twice and end up only with the thing i wanted to paste on the screen.
hmm... actually I quite often do multiple copy's and then paste them all at once (when I want to collect a list or similar), so I wouldn't actually like this behavior. But I understand others might appreciate it, I'll consider how I can allow something like this in the future.
The clipboard viewer is great, but not in that context.
Cmd-option-shift-V to open it, use arrow keys to go to the item you want, and press return. Now it's pasted.
