My bad. Even then, TCE wouldn't hurt.

I think getting Walter Bright on board is the best starting 
point. If he likes the idea, I'm sure we can work out way with 
the GCC/LLVM devs. I saw some basic signs (noted earlier) that 
this may be a non-issue, as the functionality may already be 
there.

I'll keep looking and see if I can find a definitive answer for 
those compilers. Would support of one of the compilers be enough, 
or would both be required to get this in the formal language spec?
