Thanks @JDPailleux for the progress with the Multi Image Dialect. Does this currently cover only the intrinsics?

If you could write a high level description of the MIF dialect as a PR to flang/docs or write a summary in discourse (https://discourse.llvm.org/c/subprojects/flang/33) that will make it easier for others to follow and help review. Alternatively you could consider presenting at the Flang community call next Wednesday.

Are there any general principles that you are following. Like all co-array or multi-image intrinsics will be represented as an operation. Are there any new FIR/MLIR types to represent coarrays/multi-images?  Is the dialect only for ease of lowering or will it include some transformations as well? What kind of transformations do you plan to have in the dialect?
