That proposal was based on our discussion derived from this model. :)

It's one and the same.

Yup. No reasons why not to.

But we shouldn't start on the driver, nor we should create something
that breaks compatibility with other compilers. Ellcc has no such
problem, so even if we are to merge his code, we'll have to adapt to a
more widely used compiler.
