Yes that would be awesome. It can make the exact same tool at 
least 10x more useful and versatile.

I'm a big fan of tools that allow plugins, so I would also like 
to see parts of the compiler be written as loadable plugins that 
can be swapped in/out with different versions, and also to allow 
the tool set to be extensible by anyone.
