You've misread what I wrote. I said nothing about doing anything with
the AST, certainly not throwing away information in it.
What I proposed was to come up with a set of requirements for a
hypothetical data package that GCC would need to deliver to support
the kind of functionality we would like to have. Once we have these
requirements, we can see how they map into the AST (or into something
else, if someone has other proposals). E.g., if it turns out that we
need 99% of what is already in the AST, the argument for using it will
be much more substantiated.

I agree with every word, and didn't intend to imply anything against
that.
