* https://github.com/dart-lang/language/issues/2848
* https://github.com/dart-lang/language/issues/2820
### Language tour:
* https://github.com/dart-lang/site-www/issues/4613
### Making IIFEs amenable to custom analyses:
* https://github.com/dart-lang/language/issues/2852
### Refactoring support:
* https://github.com/dart-lang/sdk/issues/51423
* https://github.com/dart-lang/sdk/issues/51421
### Performance
* https://github.com/dart-lang/sdk/issues/52694

Research direction
This is a tracking issue rather than a self-contained task. Review the linked Dart language issues 2848, 2820, and 2852, the language-tour issue 4613, and the SDK issues 51423, 51421, and 52694 to understand the separate workstreams. Done means resolving or coordinating those linked issues, not changing a file named here.
