Technical question: does your patched compiler dump out any AST info
that isn't already dumped by -fdump-trees/tree-dump.c? ie is there more
info there, or is the intent just to generate XML output so that it is
more parseable by other tools?
I always thought it would be a cool debugging tool to have some sort of
gui for introspection of the AST. "p debug_tree(t)" in GDB does get
boring after a while...
