### MIR
Machine Intermediate Representation, lowered to from AIR. Each instruction set architecture will have its own MIR dialect as it is designed to closely match available instructions. Designed for stage2+, since LLVM and C backends don't need MIR. Partially implemented. See [the design issue](https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/9514).
### ZIR
Zig Intermediate Representation. `src/Astgen.zig` converts AST nodes to these
