While this could be added to the dialect, we hesitated to do so, as this is closely related to an lvalue/rvalue discussion we're currently facing (@simon-camp will post an update to this later on discourse). Alongside we would need to add function pointers (related to `func.constant`) and an operation resembling `func.call_indirect`. While adding these two to the dialect is straight forward, it requires some additional work in the emitter.

Here is the mentioned [discourse thread](https://discourse.llvm.org/t/rfc-separate-variables-from-ssa-values-in-emitc/75224).
