You use dart2js --output-type=dart. Not sure if you really want an extra entry in bin for that. Maybe we should have more stuff (generate snapshots, dart2dart, dart2js, static type analysis) under a bin/dartc command?

I think a shell script for dart2dart would be appreciated. It's definitely not obvious to use dart2js to spit out dart code. :)

a more generate bin/dartc command with general options would also be sufficient.

I also think that there should be a "dart2dart" wrapper since most people call it "dart2dart" anyways.

With a separate executable it would be also more "natural" to make this available in the editor. It also makes build scripts a bit nicer to read. Finally, it becomes much easier to discover (see: #­9996).

May I point out that you cannot use dart2js as a dart2dart compiler for most console apps because dart:io is not included in dart2js... Is there a bug for that?

Confirmed. I've opened https://code.google.com/p/dart/issues/detail?id=10880 to track.

It would be better to call it dartc.
