[perl #37578] [TODO] PIR - simple register allocation

[Patrick R. Michaud]

From a discussion earlier today on #irc...
It would be nice if the PIR compiler had a way to use
a very basic register allocation algorithm for .subs that
use only a small number of registers.

pmichaud: This ticket was filed about 3 years ago. We have :unique_reg
now, does this resolve your issue? If so, we can close this ticket.

I'm okay with closing the ticket, assuming that :unique_reg does
indeed cause the register allocation algorithm to be simple.
(IIRC, as recently as a few months ago this wasn't the case.)

Did anyone actually verify this statement? If not, closing the ticket
may be premature.

Thanks for the reply pmichaud! Closing ticket.
