That is something I'd like to see, but it has 2 difficult

Note that is can in very subtle manners.
- It require to define the AST properly. And then, every

we are reluctant to clean up some implementations quirks (some

The AST returned does not need to have the same API as the AST
used by the compiler.
Sure, but it still need to be specified.
