Vaporware is not extant software.  Imaginary friends are not friends.  Time=
 travel to the future is not living in the present.  The point is GNU Fortr=
an on LLVM over in that quasimaintained DragonEgg fork could conceivably ma=

g from (near-)scratch (ignoring the gutting of Clang that served as the bas=
is of Flang).
