True, and it will only get more cleaner as each section is rewritten.  But
no one personally congratulates you on refactoring code (I have been
spearheading a push to remove all dmd-backend-isms from gdc.  It took about
3 months work to make expression (toElem) codegen to be stateless, and
remove the dmd-specific 'backend IR state' (IRState) struct from the
codebase.  And that is barely 1/8 of what needs to be done to prepare the
move to 2.067)
