//! What one instruction is, and what a value is.
//!
//! Design: `spec/08-ir.md` sections 8.1 and 8.3.
//!
//! An instruction is an [`Opcode`], a set of [`Flags`], a run of value operands, and whatever
//! else that opcode needs, which is [`Extra`]. Everything that fits in eight bytes is in the
//! [`Extra`] itself and everything larger is an index into a side table, so the instruction
//! stays small enough that walking a function is walking one dense array.
//!
//! A value is the result of an instruction or a parameter of a block, and it is nothing else.
//! There is no constant operand kind: a constant is an [`Opcode::IConst`] with a result like
//! any other instruction. That is what makes the dominance rule in the verifier a single rule
//! with no exceptions, and it costs nothing, because a constant with no uses is deleted by the
//! same pass that deletes anything else with no uses.
