[fpc-devel] "Maybe Gareth can be convinced to spend his energy on this ... "

[J. Gareth Moreton]

I figured you were serious with it.  I've garned a reputation, it seems!

I have some organisation to figure out first, since I've got to fix a 
bug <https://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=32913>, begin development 
of pure functions and update my patches for the x86-64 optimiser 
overhaul so it will still merge.

Granted, loop optimisaion is something that's cropped up a few times, 
both in terms of vectorisation and also taking advantage of pure 
functions.  I can't promise anything, but I'll certainly take a look.

As for learning new things... it's true.  I learnt so much about nodes 
while developing the XML node dump feature.
