Treelang is a language front end to gcc, for a fictitious language also
called 'treelang'. Its purpose in life is to provide a simple sample front
end language for GCC, to be used as a basis for new front ends and also for
educational purposes. While in theory one can clone existing front ends,
the complexities of the other languages tend to hide the elegant simplicity
of the GCC front end interface.
I will be posting the patch shortly (a few days).
