This is one part of the project I have to bury my head in the sand or else I get kind of sad. I mean, what if we wanted to add a language feature to the AS3.g and parser. We can't because it's tied to SWF generation. For me, this is the elephant in the room that never gets talked about. Why? Yeah, you need compiler engineers that get paid bank to work on it like that from my perspective, it's not something I could do(SWF). If in any way we wanted to add/change the AST it would break everything down the chain until it all was updated.
