With the utmost respect, I suggest that this is unrealistic.  When people
don't use the advanced compiler (RPG IV or C or Cobol) that
_they_already_paid_for_ it seems to prove that there really is no iSeries
market for advanced languages.  Ask Paul Conte sometime about his RPG/free.
I'd love to be able to see the compiler's guts, and I'd love to see IBM
management open it up, but I don't think there's much more than curiosity
value to be had by it.
