You seem to have answered all the questions apart from the control structure 
ones. 

As far as gentle goes the good news is I’ve managed to find the control 
structures in grammar.g… The bad news is I loose the trail once I get to 
types.g… 

It’s all very interesting… a compiler for a language for making compilers that 
is compiling a language that is a compiler…
