As an aside, the PCH patch introduced a change to gcc which provides a single
program with a complete *computer* *readable* description of the important gcc
data structures. This is then used to generate the garbage collection code.
There is a risk that this would make the kind of interfacing people are
talking about much easier. Maybe that's why all the variables are called 't'
or 'u1' or the like, as a form of obfuscation ;-)
