Of course, the intent of that feature is for use in conjuction with a
C interpreter.  With byte code generation the optimizer and backend
isn't used (to minimize compile time, and the assembler overhead).
Still, I do think being able to get C, C++, FORTRAN, Pascal, Ada,
etc. into an intermediate form is worth noting.
