+# done in the first basic block. Allowing re-interpretation would require
+# re-allocation of stack space (possibly in a new basic block), which is not

+# We can allow bitcasts in cases where the width of the types is the same in
+# the future. But for now, we do not allow any re-interpretation of variables.
