  # Getter is a base class for get instructions (SlotToReg and ByteToReg , possibly more coming)
  #
  # The instruction that is modelled is loading data from an array into a register
  #
  # Getter has a
  # - an array where the data comes from
  # - an (array) index
  # - Register that the data is moved to

  # Getter and Setter api follow the pattern from -> to

  class Getter < Instruction

    # If you had a c array and index offset
    # the instruction would do register = array[index]
    # The arguments are in the order that makes sense for the Instruction name
    # So SlotToReg means the slot (array and index) moves to the register (last argument)
