If we go with the “Compiler” alternative, it might make sense to put things
like the language/toolchain version, host, target, etc there:
if Compiler.language.version >= 3 { celebrate() }
if Compiler.target.cpuCount * Compiler.target.coreCount > someValue {/*
parallelize something differently than you would have otherwise */}
Or maybe someday we could use it for expanding the language’s syntax:
// Not sure if “Compiler.appendSyntax(...)” would be better
Syntax.append(/* something which makes sense goes here */)
There was something I was going to reply to yesterday which included a
suggestion to add something to the Syntax namespace, but I can’t find it now,
so I guess that draft got scrapped or something.
