I do have all that for my own use. I've never bothered to turn it 
into something others could use because I love the garbage 
collector, but that's a turnoff for others. But I'm more than 
happy to share if you're really interested. I'm also working on 
an R -> D compiler, but it's not helpful at this point.

It wouldn't take much to create a simple wrapper over mir/lubeck 
to do operator overloading. This is low-hanging fruit for someone 
that wants to contribute to the language. Until I win the 
lottery, I won't have time to do it myself.
