+// -------------------- Current status --------------------
+// Simple binary operations (+-*/) on octave_scalar's (doubles) are optimized.
+// However, there is no warning emitted on divide by 0. For example,
+// a = 5;
+// b = a * 5 + a;
+//
+// For other types all binary operations are compiled but not optimized. For
+// example,
+// a = [1 2 3]
+// b = a + a;
+// will compile to do_binary_op (a, a).
+//
+// For loops are compiled again!
+// if, elseif, and else statements compile again!
+// break and continue now work!
+// Additionally, make check passes using jit.
+//
+// The octave low level IR is a linear IR, it works by converting everything to
+// calls to jit_functions. This turns expressions like c = a + b into
+// c = call binary+ (a, b)
+// The jit_functions contain information about overloads for differnt types. For
+// example, if we know a and b are scalars, then c must also be a scalar.
+//
+//
+// TODO:
+// 1. Rename symbol_table::symbol_record_ref -> symbol_table::symbol_reference
+// 2. Support some simple matrix case (and cleanup Octave low level IR)
+// 3. Support error cases
+// 4. Fix memory leaks in JIT
