As we have hoped, every single function exhibits memory savings. Yay.
Nice!
I don't know if this merits merging into mainline, or if it's preferable to
keep plodding along and convert the rest of the tuples. What do you guys
think? Either way, I have my work cut out for me, though I believe the
hardest part is over (FLW).
My vote is to merge into mainline sooner rather than later. However, it
is a big patch and affects just about every module in the compiler, so I
wouldn't want to barge in without getting some consensus first.
As for the rest of the conversion, I don't think there are many changes
left that are as invasive as this one. Mostly global search and
replace, but it's been a few weeks since I looked at the code.
I'm hoping we can extend the rest of the changes into late Stage1 and
Stage2, but we can see about that as we go.
