Here are known things that need work:

• Rename functions to support multiple dispatch
• Support recursion
• Support global variables
• Support Union types
• More intrinsics
• Add a way to override codegen! methods, probably by adding a type parameter to CodeCtx
• Add a way to intercept function calls to substitute something more "native"

It'd be nice to override methods and functions. For example, I've been adding functionality over the last week, but it's running less code, because I'm pushing deeper into call trees.

A main culprit right now is throw. If that could be replaced with something simpler, more code would run. (String code doesn't work very well right now.)

You can already do this for some cases. If you "precompile" a method into a CodeCtx, codegen! will use that method when called.

It might be nice to have more general overrides. For example, I might want to overload all of the throw methods.
