Nice work -- I'm glad to see this coming in. What's the rationale for putting the symbol generator and all its data in the top-level repo? That'll add quite a bit of heft to a repo that's always been intended to remain fairly lightweight. Wouldn't it make more sense for this code and data to be placed in the langtools repo? Or is there some sort of build-bootstrapping issue here? - Mark
