Scott;
1) It is a good metric to follow the evolution of compiler
development.
2) Better to track this actively than wait for the time
when it becomes faster to work a problem with paper
and pencil, then toggle it in from the front panel.
C.S. is rumored to be past the "toggle it in from
the front panel" stage. But I suppose there might
be a few still rewiring their plugboards...
