cmd/compile: design doc explaining unified IR implementation #54534

Open mdempsky opened 2 years ago

The Go 1.18 implementation of generics is documented at https://github.com/golang/proposal/blob/master/design/generics-implementation-dictionaries-go1.18.md. Unified IR implements substantially the same idea, but there are some notable distinctions that would be worth preparing an updated design document to explain the implementation in full.

Moving to Backlog since this doesn't seem like it needs to be tied to a Go release. Please comment if you disagree or would like it in a milestone for tracking. Thanks!
