Just out of curiousity, is the IL backend completely dead? Is any IL used in the implementation of the new backend, or is it entirely C#?

Very nice. My understanding is that the Mercury compiler is also written in Mercury. Can the C# back end compile and run the compiler, so that it is fully bootstrapped in C#?
