Maybe we could incorporate http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/c-tree.html
into the manual? It has helped me a lot with the tree
optimization stuff that I'm currently doing.

I don't mean just slap the thing together with the manual, of
course. It could be made into its own section and have a couple
of new sections to provide the glue between the two ILs.
