Well, I suppose Nathan could relatively easily try this, and see what
happens on the code and benchmarks he has been using.
In any case, the compile-time and memory explosion we're seeing for C++
code generation is something we should address ASAP (and it's also a bad
regression wrt GCC 2.95) -- and I'm happy that Nathan is investigating
this now. Thanks!
