# Values represent the information as it is processed. Different subclasses for different types,
# each type with different operations.
# The oprerations on values is what makes a machine do things.
# For compilation, values are moved to the machines registers and the methods (on values) map
# to machine instructions
# Values are immutable! (that's why they are called values)
# Operations on values _always_ produce new values (conceptionally)
# Values are a way to reason about (create/validate) instructions.
# In fact a linked lists of values is created by invoking instructions
# the linked list goes from value to instruction to value, backwards
# Word Values are what fits in a register. Derived classes
# Float, Reference , Integer(s) must fit the same registers
# just a base class for data. not sure how this will be usefull (may just have read too much llvm)
