Correct. The idea is to have full flexibility. We con generate direct
or indirect access to any GV.

I like the idea of making this an absolute flag. I will try to
implement that as soon as possible. I wonder if it should also be a
single flag in the .ll.

During the weekend I added a few more cases to codegen. I will upload
the current work in progress in a second.

Cheers,
