 * Timer count up, ending options - maybe separate chrono and timer à la Timex?
 * Different setting option for pushbutton (à la Timex) vs. rotary (à la microwave ovens) - external file?
-* Set current DST state in EEPROM so when the clock is connected to power, it can determine whether correction is needed
 * Option to display weekdays as Sun=0 or Sun=1 (per Portuguese!)
 * When setting times of day, make 1439 (minutes) roll over to 0 and vice versa
 * Implement options for full date every 5 minutes
-* Is it possible to trip the chime *after* determining if we're in night mode or not
+* Is it possible to trip the chime *after* determining if we're in night shutoff or not
 * Reenable rotary encoder with libraries with workable licenses
 * In display code, consider using `delayMicroseconds()` which, with its tighter resolution, may give better control over fades and dim levels
 * in `checkInputs()`, can all this if/else business be defined at load instead of evaluated every sample? OR is it compiled that way? maybe use `#ifdef`
 * in `ctrlEvt()`, could we do release/shorthold on mainSel so we can exit without making changes?
+* Should functions be modular in the code, and have a reserved memory location / 100 per each?
+* Should functions have their own options menu?
+* I2C display to help with setting?
+* I2C multicolor LED to indicate which function we're in?
+* Metronome function
+* Alarm option should be beeping patterns, including a slow wake which defeats the 2 minute delay
+* Signalstart should create a situation where there's time on the counter, but doesn't make sound since the rtc can do that. Other beepable actions would probably cancel that counter anyway
