I'm sorry but that was true at the moment when GENERIC was designed :-(
and I think we'll not end with a suitable generic IR by just including nodes as 
it was been done until now.  I really think we should base our work on a 
standard 
and avoid, if possible, to reinvent the wheel.

Sorry again Steven, I wasn't thinking bad when I wrote that statement.  I just 
meant that GENERIC was mostly the union of the C and C++ front ends and that its
conception was mostly been based on the "empiric" discovery that front-end
representations could be factored to a generic representation.  Here it would be
a good time to formalize a little this GENERIC representation.  We'll just win 
in 
the adoption of this standard, since the most of the semantics documentation 
would
be already there: the standard itself.
