Code generation from an AST is enormously simpler than the back-patching
method of the Dragon book.

 Obviously you don't quite know what you are talking about because
generating code from an AST is not mutually exclusive with back-patching,
I am doing both in neos.

I could never understand back-patching. With an AST
I simply walked the tree and generated the code.
