--- Comment #14 from Robert Dubner <rdubner at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
"Wait for me!  I am your leader!"

I am not *used* to this.

What I *am* used to is people telling me there's a problem in my code, and then
standing around tapping their feet impatiently until I fix it.

Okay.  Deep breath.  Because I am totally curious, I am going to download
Richard's patch and apply it so that I can at least see what's going on.

It has taken me a ridiculously long time to figure out that you are creating
trees for numeric values, and then doing arithmetic on those trees at compile
time.  

That's a methodology that simply didn't occur to me *at all*, and it's causing
the ground to shift beneath my feet.  It's disconcerting.

And what I am seeing here is a rampant enthusiasm bordering on glee for
improving the front end.  And I simply have to get past the idea that *I* have
to fix everything.

So:  I am basically asking: "What can I do?"

I offer up as an answer:  "Bob, we need more test cases."

Does that sound right?
