So, are you undertaking to rewrite mc in the same way as llvm/clang folks "rewrote" gcc? If yes, then please go ahead and do share your results with the rest of us when you are done. If you end up doing some brilliant work that can readily supplant mc in its current shape and form, I'll be the first to jump the ship. If not, then, I'm afraid that I'm not interested in continuing this line of the conversation. > And for mc, I'm sure it's not the first patch to integrate some scripting.

How about my list? And I'm sure that Egmont has his own list. How about his list? What makes your list better than ours? -- Sincerely yours, Yury V.
