Would there be any objections against naming the compiler front-end the

What's the copyright situation of the code? Did you assign it to the
FSF?
Currently I have not assigned the copyrigths, but this is clearly my
intentions. But to be honest, there isn't much going on in pl1 the compiler
yet. It is basically just a scanner and parser that gets invoked from gcc.
That was the state of GNU Fortran 95 four years go - yet Andy Vaught,
its author, assigned copyrights to the FSF. It makes it clear where
you're heading w.r.t inclusion into the official GCC repository.
Hope this helps,
