 ToDo
 ----
 
-  * Support for complex data types should be added.  Currently swig
-    dies with a syntax error when the %numpy_typemaps macro is used
-    with complex types.
+  * Write tests for 3D typemaps.
 
-  * Better ARGOUT typemaps need to be implemented and tested.  I
-    stalled on this because SWIG implements a new method for
-    aggregating output arguments; it has changed from a tuple to a
-    list and requires importing a different SWIG library file.  I
-    didn't particularly want to spend time trying to support both
-    approaches, and I ended up not finishing a typemap for either.
+  * Add ARGOUT typemaps that assume the function allocates the buffers
+    internally.
+
+  * Add "naked" typemaps for argument lists that do not specify
+    dimensions.
