Aaaannnddd, you should not forget the spin-off of this work helping
Fortran:
1. Mark codes loads-hoisting and store-sinking for loops.
2. Jim Wilson repairs a bug in the backend causing a libstdc++ test
suite failure and speeds up all Fortran complex-using programs
by a factor between 2 and 3.
You know, perhaps the Fortran team should be funding the C++ effort (OK,
just kiddin' :-)
