***DISCLAIMER***: _These notes are from the defunct k8 project which_
_precedes SquirrelJME. The notes for SquirrelJME start on 2016/02/26!_
_The k8 project was effectively a Java SE 8 operating system and as such_
_all of the notes are in the context of that scope. That project is no_
_longer my goal as SquirrelJME is the spiritual successor to it._

For SSAProgram settings I have EXTERN_INT_PROMOTE and EXTERN_FLOAT_PROMOTE
which take would auto promote lower integer values to higher types. However
that can just be done automatically (say if a byte is copied into an integer
register). As I thought of before, integers, floating point, and references
could be in their groups. On another note, I can merge SSAVariable and
SSARegister together as a subclass of some other class. I also need a stronger
type system which can use unsigned values and such of arbitrary size.

Not too sure how I would want to handle program arguments. I suppose there
would just be an implicit set of variables which exist.
