Along the lines of optimization and pointerfull/pointerless languages, any
one know much about languages which take suggestions for compilation (like
many lisps), or compilers which automatically use profiling to improve
optimization?

How much of a bitch are these kinds of things? How useful are they?

This kind of thing could allow both camps to be satisfied, (I would think),
in that there would be a very portable abstract specification (program in
a high level language), but also allow bit-twiddlers to twiddle (if implemented
"right").
