These are memory management and caching primitives. Having them as part of Cache is cumbersome and requires a temporary directory that is never used. This change isolates them from Cache to enable independent use.

This got brought up earlier today as a potential optimisation. This change documents why it is not viable, and hopefully clears up some performance implications of using IRDecoder, namely that its decoding costs do not amortise.

This should hopefully provide good separation between the artifact curing backend implementation and the (still work in progress) language. Making the IR parseable also guarantees uniqueness of the representation.
