I got a hacky version of our current raw dump working with json objects, but using the functions and data structures in tree-dump.* "as is" would require further processing of the dump's output (and I think some further modification) in order to make linking related nodes possible - I think, at least. This seems expensive computationally, so I'm currently re-implementing the function dump_generic_nodes from tree-pretty-print.cc so that it emits JSON instead. tree-dump.cc doesn't currently handle all the current tree codes in dequeue_and_dump. This approach does unfortunately lead us to having another spot in the code base that needs to be synced with the tree data structure. (I didn't take a long look at tree-streamer* to see if anything there would be helpful, but it looks like we'd have to enumerate over the codes anyways to get JSON output.)

I'd like to actually see some of the progress here, even if
incomplete;  even if there's two versions (Tree-dump and
dump_generic_nodes).

We've already extended the project to accommodate for that, but it places the mid point review to three weeks in a project that is expected to take 12 weeks. We can still address the rate of progress if you still feel trepidacious about the pace of things.

There are 8 weeks left until final code submission, so we're 1/3rd
into the project.  That would be 4 weeks, but I understand
that it's more like three on your side.  At this point there should be
a clear path forward, thus the design should be set.  It's
a bit unfortunate that there's nothing written down in code or e-mail
from your side that shows progress there - I hope we
can sort this out later today.
