These have been my exact concurring conclusions as well for over 2 years no=
w, when I back then ceased coding up my own variant resembling what is now =
known as GNAT-LLVM.  Some of my design/coding work was hinted at in multipl=

=E2=80=A2chilling effects=E2=80=A2=E2=80=A2 on my own over 2 years ago.
