+Instance idea
+-------------
+
+       It would be nice to have things that can be "instances" to have an
+       EmitInstance method (this would default to nothing).
+
+       The idea is to be able to use efficiently the instance data on stack
+       manipulations, as opposed to the current scheme, where we basically have
+       a few special cases.
