The extent of the C->CIL transforms does seem a bit extreme in many 
places (just flicked thru the info on the site).

I'd be worried that any code that results from any source-to-source 
translator (e. C-to-C++ or C-to-C#) built on this would be just 
as "alien" as comparing some of the C-source and CIL-output fragments.

Am I missing some bigger picture here?
