Hi Dan,

Please pass along any other whishlist items you find.  I'll dig through 
the llvmdev archives and see what I can find.  I'm willing to lend a 
hand and make some design proposals as things become more clear for me.  
One thing I could use is nested multiclasses--the ability to call defm 
within a multiclass.
