   I think the best value of looking at the A2D sources is all of the macro   
   support you have in place there for safely handling SELF_MODIFIED_BYTE   
   optimizations, MAIN/AUX mem splits, tail call optimizations, etc.  Having a   
   decent safety net for implementing    
   all of those little memory-saving techniques really seems to have a compounded   
   effect on improving that codebase.   
      
   Maybe that's something that could be useful to adapt to a large codebase like   
   Nox in addition to the suggestions for the build tools themselves.
