I am mostly interested in the Ada <-> middle-end interaction, specially
where Adas requirements on the middle-end exceed that of C, and how this
is currently handled. Even where there are useful extensions of the
middle-end to make life of Gigi easier, especially in terms of possible
optimizations.
