Can I add a fourth - one I said to Dan I intended to do, but so far haven't
managed:

* The created C code could benefit from #line directives to track where
  C code came from the input .pmc file, so that compiler errors are reported
  for the original .pmc file. Perl 5's xsubpp does this well, using #line
  directives to switch between foo.c and foo.xs, depending on whether that
  section of code was human written, or autogenerated. It makes things much
  easier while developing.


Of course, I may find time to do this before anyone else does, but anyone
is welcome to beat me to it.
