1) Do you believe there will be sub-parts of this project which could be
carried on succesfully and efficiently by programmers without previous RTL
experience? IIUC, the optimizers will be basically abstracted by RTL details,
but I was thinking of something within the critical path.

2) As for the new tables needed by the RTL library, I suppose they will be
generated by some new gen* program. Did you consider using a scripting language
as a fast prototype to munge .md files and generate those tables? I believe it
would allow faster initial development and more flexibility in changes. Much
later, it can be rewritten in C.
