* Must update PHI node to have a pair between predecessor and value.
* pred/succ iterators on basic blocks don't handle switch statements correctly
* Enhance BB to make predecessor handling easier (to update PHI nodes)
* Provide a pass that eliminates critical edges from the CFG
* Provide a print hook to print out xvcg format files for vis
* Provide a print pass to print out xvcg format files for vis
* I need to provide an option to the bytecode loader to ignore memory
dependance edges. Instead, the VM would just treat memory operations
(load, store, getfield, putfield, call) as pinned instructions.

1. adding varient that takes ushort
2. Splitting structures into nested structures each of half size

* It might be nice to support enumerations of some sort... especially for use
as a compiler IR
* Include a method level bytecode block that defines a mapping between values
and registers that defines a minimally register allocated code. This can
make me finally address how to encode extensions in assembly.

<h5>Arguments:</h5>
There are two forms of the '<tt>load</tt>' instruction: one for reading from a general pointer, and one for reading from a pointer to an array.<p>
There are three forms of the '<tt>load</tt>' instruction: one for reading from a general pointer, one for reading from a pointer to an array, and one for reading from a pointer to a structure.<p>
In the first form, '<tt>&lt;ty&gt;</tt>' may be any pointer type. If it is a pointer to an array, the first (zeroth) element is read from). In the second form, '<tt>&lt;ty&gt;</tt>' must be a pointer to an array. No bounds checking is performed on array reads.<p>

In the second form, '<tt>&lt;ty&gt;</tt>' must be a pointer to an array. No bounds checking is performed on array reads. In the third form, the pointer must point to a (possibly nested) structure.
