Damn. It seems to be more work than I had thought.
From my "outside" viewpoint of not being a compiler developer, I'd say
that getting the TR completely implemented and working seems to be
quite a bit of work (and I think more than most people anticipated). I
base this largely on the observation that the frequency of compiler
bugs relating to the TR has been pretty high, and that's over several
compilers, not just a problem one or two. It is a really nice set of
features from my user perspective, but I caution against taking it
cavalierly. If you manage to get it out without at least one round of
bug feedback from "real outside users" (i.e. folk outside of the
development team) trying it on real applications, I'll be very
impressed. That would be better than most of the commercial vendors
have done.
