Hi Tucker,

I would probably be the mentor, as I was the developer who proposed that
idea.  I'd be happy to discuss your proposal in more detail.  Do you have
any specific questions right now?  One good resource for the overall
structure of the mlton code base is from: http://mlton.org/CompilerOverview.
 There are also a couple of presentations on MLton: http://mlton.org/Talkand
