The compilers share a bit of code through copy-paste.  I was wondering
if there are any important changes in recent years that were made
in a popularly used compiler (ie. 8[cal]) that might benefit other
compilers (ie. k[cal])?

Also, is there any documentation out there other than "How to
Use the Plan 9 C Compiler" and "Plan 9 C Compilers" that cover
the compilers?  I've been perusing the code and some of the
code takes quite a while to figure out.  Some quick notes would
go a long way (ie. "this function is a recursive tree walk that
checks types and inserts casts").

Tim N.
