[LLVMdev] Syn

[Vikram Adve]

This sounds ambitious and should be very interesting, if you can make 
it work.  The closest example I have heard of is work on 
metaprogramming (or partial evaluation) by exposing a compiler's parse 
trees to the programmer, but I suspect that is more limited.  I don't 
know specific references offhand but one of the papers on MetaOCaml 
(which takes a different approach) may have citations to such work.
