A few dumb questions from a person quite new to tree-ssa:

a. The subject confuses me - should it not be
   "Genericizing Java"? I mean, aren't front-ends supposed
   to generate GENERIC trees that a common "gimplifier"
   will convert to GIMPLE?

b. After the tree-ssa branch is merged into mainline
   (in 3.5?), would we have a single tree representation
   produced by all front-ends rather than the current
   dialects produced by C/C++ and Java?

c. Are we doing away with the current tree + RTL dichotomy
   of Intermediate Representations and going with a
   single IR after this effort is complete?

Thanks in advance for answering these.

Ranjit.
