I agree that is questionnable.

Which sub-part exactly? The STL? I can't imagine we won't have I/O
facilities. If that should be the case then I'd much prefer v-2.

The compiler is already difficult to understand. Before going through
additional compiler black magic hackery in order to support a broken
library I would prefer
1) we reimplement the front-end (before putting in extra-linguistic
magics)
2) we invest effort in implementing the library.
