* Other call abi's
* Unsized types
* Slice indexing
* Sub slice
* Some rvalue's
* Inline assembly
* Custom sections
## Known errors
* cranelift-module api seems to be used wrong, thus causing panic for some consts
* cranelift-codegen doesn't have encodings for some instructions for types smaller than I32
