As big as making C++ backend?

I don't see it as a switch. Just as another backend.

And yes, I know it's easier from audience. It is your call, but anything C, C++, GCC is pain long term. We will probably all reap benefits of that C backend, as good intermediate solution if nothing else, but sooner we settle on LLVM, and forget GCC's wriggling backend, better.
