Given a blank sheet of paper, the current 'TDF_tree' dumps should really be

Well, I would prefer to introduce new enum for kind of dump:

Right, I understand that. My point is that it might be confusing to
users of the dump machinery (i.e. me), at the command-line level where
'rtl' means different things in different contexts. And we have 'tree'
dumps that dump gimple and 'lang' dumps that also (can) dump trees.
We have a bunch of gimple optimization passes, but call the dumpers
'tree'. I know how we ended up here, but it seems confusing.
