Description

xref issue #614 and issue #56 one common pain point using our IR is the requirement that immediates be
given the final encoded size. we should consider supporting auto-demotion
and auto-promotion to make this easier. however, if we don't know
signedness, we can do the wrong thing and can't know for sure whether we're
truncating or not.
