Oh. And something to add about this:
One of the things that, to me, is very promising about BitC is the *kind* of
issues we are hitting. They seem to fall into three categories:
1. Minor compiler bugs
2. Cases where we are tripping over some kind of expressiveness
that wouldn't have had in C to begin with. Which means, of
course, that the new expressiveness is useful enough that
we are trying to use it.
3. Cases where we know what the fix is, it can be introduced
in a backwards-compatible way, but we aren't there yet.
Every language has warts and issues in its early form. Most have warts and
issues long after they die of old age. Given a choice, these three
categories of warts and issues are the kinds of warts and issues that I'ld
very much prefer to have in *any* system.
