Hi Tony,
isn't #963 more or less fixed? (It crashes the compiler, but doesn't fail at runtime anymore ...)
Could you post a new example of it if it isn't?
Isn't crashing the compiler pretty far to the "less" side of "more or less fixed"?
Failure to compile is always better than generating wrong bytecode.
Right, but I don't think "fixed: replaced with compiler crash" is a resolution you'll see in many bug databases
