Thanks for all the replies; currently, sparse seems to be looking good
--- it even decomposes the expression trees into pseudo-code using
virtual registers in SSA form with liveness tracking, which means that
all I need to do is to bolt a noddy register allocator on the top and
I'm pretty much good to go. Very convenient.


However, it *is* all under construction and is totally undocumented,
which means I've got no idea if there are any gotchas coming up: but if
so, I've got plenty of other tools to look at. Thanks!
