/**
 * @fileoverview AssemblyScript's intermediate representation.
 *
 * The compiler uses Binaryen IR, which is fairly low level, as its
 * primary intermediate representation, with the following structures
 * holding any higher level information that cannot be represented by
 * Binaryen IR alone, for example higher level types.
 *
 * Similar to the AST being composed of `Node`s in `Source`s, the IR is
 * composed of `Element`s in a `Program`. Each class or function is
 * represented by a "prototype" holding all the relevant information,
 * including each's concrete instances. If a class or function is not
 * generic, there is exactly one instance, otherwise there is one for
 * each concrete set of type arguments.
