I must say I agree with Richard here (I have often wanted to move layout into
the front end of Ada, but Richard has always managed to convince me this is
a bad idea). Can you say *why* you are making this decision:
The C parser I'm working on won't use it to lay out types, since I don't
use trees. I'll have to ensure that what stor-layout.c does (during
lowering) is the same as what I've done. At least in an initial
implementation.
