# NOTE: This example exposes the problems with our typing system.
# We assign every variable the type i64* by default.
# lookup() return type is ptr, which can't be loaded.
# So we can't do steps on line 25 and 27.
# To counter this, we should allocate vars by speculating their type.
# And in the assign pass, we should have something like a
# recursive_dereferencer() that dereferences a ptr until it hits a non-ptr type.
# And a recursive_wrapper() that does the opposite.
# We can't do steps on line 25 and 27.
# prev is of type i64**. For prev + 1, we deref it down to i64
# To assign it back to prev, we need to go back to i64**.
# We cannot allocate space for the intermediate type now.
# We probably need to track the ref/deref chain for each variable.
