 Optimizations (better compiler)
 -------------------------------
 - Smaller Value.Type (int32 or ptr)?  Get rid of types altogether?
-- Recycle dead Values (and Blocks) explicitly instead of using GC
 - OpStore uses 3 args.  Increase the size of Value.argstorage to 3?
 - Constant cache
-- Reuseable slices (e.g. []int of size NumValues()) cached in Func
 - Handle signed division overflow and sign extension earlier
 - Implement 64 bit const division with high multiply, maybe in the frontend?
 - Add bit widths to complex ops
