+-- TODO: Note about stackification. Temporaries need to be pushed before
+-- a call if they're live after it and they could, conceivably, be wrongly
+-- mutated by the called function otherwise. This has a couple of
+-- interesting consequences:
+-- 1. No temporaries ever need to be pushed from the global context, or
+--    "main function", since they can never be wrongly mutated: that
+--    requires re-entering the function in which they were defined, but one
+--    can never re-enter the "main function".
+-- 2. No temporaries ever need to be pushed before a tail call; since no
+--    local variables are live after it (obviously). (Global variables are
+--    covered by point (1.).)
