We should get rid of -fdump-translation-unit.  It has never done what
people think it does, the output format has never been documented, no
one cares to improve either of those things, and we now have
tree-pretty-print.c which is language-independent and far easier to
read.  No, it's not machine parseable, but neither is
-fdump-translation-unit's format, if you really sit down and think
about it.

fine by me.
