Obviously I think you're wrong, but for the sake of getting shit 
done:
Do you mean to imply that now is not the time, as opposed to it 
will never happen?
Because it _really_ needs to happen, and the sooner the better, 
as Rikki notes it is an absolute requirement compiler as a 
library.

  If so, what do you think needs to happen before that?
