Description
While it is not considered a bug (for now), the regtomem pass assumes that all operands and results are wires, which need not be the case in general. The code needs to be refactored to account for this.

Research direction
Start by locating the regtomem pass and tracing where it assumes operands and results are wires. Review the pass’s handling of references and other quantum values, then verify that it tolerates those values without changing existing wire behavior.
