I think the confusion may be in what is being called "parsing and semantic analysis" as opposed to "the front end". I agree that fold

includes the act of building the GENERIC tree and I see absolutely no
reason to avoid calling fold as part of that process: it's far more efficient
to do it then and build simpler trees than to burden the gimplication
process with junk trees.
I think you're in violent agreement with the rest of us.
