Call it whatever you will, I guess, but RB as a language is way, way

I never argued on that. You are surely right.
I'm only discussing about the "new compiler" statement.
And Mars confirmed that the new compiler actually is the same of RB
5.5.5, even if the actual was extended for new targets an language
extensions.
