Today, I think I need to finish the paper. But then, I also need to figure out what I did for argument parsing in MIR so that I know how to start off the register allocator.

beach: two small comments on your paper. You say a few things about the cost of operations on modern processors - perhaps there is a need for an example and/or cite (not least so future generations can decide if the technique still makes sense in the context of the processors they will use). Second - you might want to briefly say what a 'function object' consists of (since it's not the name, environment or code).

Well, frodef made me put in the phrase about indirect branches being significantly more expensive than direct branches, and that is probably true, but I can't find anything to cite for that information.
