[LLVMdev] Perfect forwarding?

Gah, headers not set appropriately, message I sent is forwarded below
(it still takes a good extra 45-90 seconds to change the "To" line on
this device...):

Heh, I am doing the same thing.  I am basically creating a strongly
typed, static-typed LISP.  Yes, I know, you can add types in LISP, but
having it be fully strongly and statically typed lets me compile it
that much easier, and I prefer strongly and statically typed anyway.
