That can only mean that you don't really know what it does in
my opinion.
I guess it (almost) implements the language. :)
Sure such a large code base accumulates duplicates
since not everybody knows about all helper functions or copy
and paste was the least intrusive bug fix somewhere, but you
don't really believe that 94% of the front end are
unnecessary, do you?
I believe it is bloated. Maybe it's partly because it is written in C++.
