I daydreamed a bit about putting parts of the front ends into gdb...
correct expression parsing!  A C interpreter!  We could get statement
expressions to work!

In the end I figured that the programs are different enough that the
work would be massive, and the payoff not large enough.

I don't know what else from gcc I'd want to use.
