The conclusion is that a "strict" front-end shouldn't

Aren't we moving to a situation where an entire unit is first
parsed/analyzed/expanded by the front end and only then handed
off to the back end? It seems reasonable that the back end
should not need to preserve anything that is not needed for
generating the final output.
