If we intend to have special cases like `call_tir` where one argument _must_ be a tuple literal (i.e., not following the normal rule of the type system that any member of the type should be permitted to stand in for any other), we should probably have some centralized place or an API where these rules are defined so that passes know to handle them. I'm not sure what form this should take, but such special cases make it trickier to implement passes like common subexpression elimination: the passes have to know about which operators are special and have special handling for them (as @Lunderberg noted). I would argue that it doesn't bring that many advantages to require the argument to `call_tir` be a tuple literal, since the only other possibility (in normal form) is for the argument to a variable, and it is easy to look up the definitions of variables (if they're from the same function) or to use `TupleGetItem` if necessary (like the `GetTupleIndex` method in this PR). -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
