Lines from the original source are outputted as comments next to line directives. Hopefully, this will make debugging codegen problems easier. Other changes: The frame setup code now uses a single-line C macro. My motivation was to reduce the noise in the generated output and make it easier to step over the boiler-plate code, but counter-intuitively this also improved the overall compilation speed a little bit so I applied the same treatment to line tracking too (this reduces the size of the generated files and the explanation is that probably the I/O overhead dominates the macro expansion costs).

Nimrod Compiler
===========================================================
This is the **Nimrod Compiler**. Nimrod is a new statically typed, imperative
programming language, that supports procedural, functional, object oriented and
generic programming styles while remaining simple and efficient. A special
feature that Nimrod inherited from Lisp is that Nimrod's abstract syntax tree
(AST) is part of the specification - this allows a powerful macro system which
can be used to create domain specific languages.
*Nimrod* is a compiled, garbage-collected systems programming language
which has an excellent productivity/performance ratio. Nimrod's design
focuses on efficiency, expressiveness, elegance (in the order of
priority).
See the file ``install.txt`` for installation instructions. See the file
``doc/intern.txt`` for the internal documentation for developers.
