> @klausler , @PeteSteinfeld , thank you for your comments! I'm happy to reduce the changes in f18.cpp to the required minimum. Trimming it "bit-by-bit" seemed like a good idea, but we can move this to a separate patch if that's preferable. I'll send an update shortly!

With this patch, `f18` and `flang-new` become equivalent in terms of functionality and, IIUC, we are ready to delete `f18`.  I'm not aware of any reasons to keep it in-tree long term. Perhaps others could comment?

What's the timeline for removing the dependency of flang-new on clang?
