+Some isel ideas:
+
+1. Dynamic programming based approach when compile time if not an
+   issue.
+2. Code duplication (addressing mode) during isel.
+3. Other ideas from "Register-Sensitive Selection, Duplication, and
+   Sequencing of Instructions".

+Should we promote i16 to i32 to avoid partial register update stalls?
