Extremely difficult. First of all, the interface isn't totally a
tree, but is mostly procedural, using trees just for expressions and
objects. So you'd have to catch all of the procedure calls as well.
But many of the trees (for example those involving variant records)
have no C equivalent anyway.

Yes.

Yes, and he maintained it until sometime in the early 90's at which point
I took over maintenance of GCC.
