This is part of a larger rafactor that tries to shrink the ir package
and in general tries to shrink the amount of state that is kept around
in the compiler. The end goal is being able to compile packages
independent of each other, linking them together in a later stage. Along
the way, it cleans up lots of old cruft that has accumulated over the
months.
This refactor also results in globals being loaded lazily. This may be a
problem for some specific programs but will probably change back in a
commit in the near future.
