Subteam report: compiler 2016-03-11

Highlights

The biggest news is that eddyb has been pushing hard on improving the backend of the compiler lately. PRs #31710 and #32080 have simultaneously cleaned up a lot of the compiler code, closed some long-standing bugs, and pushed MIR almost to the point of viability. For this reason, I am nominating @eddyb for Friend of the Tree this week!
