What do think about the general idea of having a compiler able to native
compile elisp?

What do you think about the proposed design (Lisp -> LAP -> LIMPLE ->
libgccjit -> elf)?

Do you see any weakness in some part of the design you would be
particularly worried about?

Do you see in this a potential for having it up-stream in the future?

Thanks

Andrea
