ILNode_SemAnalysis(ILNode_Fixed)
ILNode_GenDiscard(ILNode_Fixed)

Are still TODO ....  It seems to need an ILScopeDeclareReadonly() 
to declare a variable which doesnot give an LValue, and an ILNode_AddressOf
wrapper for the initializer .... the `HOW' question needs some help 
(from rhys).

Or does it need work on the runtime side as well ? (but AFAIK, the
stack is not relocatable at runtime ... ?)

Actually you seem to have found yet another "missing" feature :-)

viz pointer++ ..

Which should be yet another entry of the cg_optable.c ? ,
or do we do something with extra like , make a ILNode_PostIncPtr ?

And... hmm... you seem to be really keen to bring pnet up to standard..

Thanks for the extra effort ,
Gopal
