Yes.  It's a "portable assembly language" in the same sense that C--
is and that C used to be.

>Can you say how are you doing instruction selection?

Tree parsing (i.e., (i)BURG-like).  Maybe also have GNU Lightning as
target.

I have to write it first, but if and when I do, yes, of course.

That would be a possible code generation technology for PAF, but the
focus of PAF is as language.  You can use a variety of code generation
techniques when compiling it to native code.
