Alexei, sorry, misunderstood you. So, there are two basic approaches: 1. rewrite the current impl, introduce limited functionality, grow functionality in evolutionary way 2. take the current impl, evolutionary move it to something better and better Yes, I preferred (1) because changing (2) requires understanding the current impl, which is not so fun. But the big plus of (2) is that no matter of how much work is done, the impl becomes better :) Need to think about some hybrid approach. Actually my suggestion to start from moving Simplifier away from IRBuilder makes it somewhat hybrid. -- Egor Pasko
