TODO is rework of #22358

Previous work: #22715 and #22716

TODO

• Readme

• Simple tests for basic functionality -> string compare!

• Extend library

  • Delay constant folding - boolean or int?
  • Generate ranges
  • State class: could trigger state change for every test invocation?

• constants:

  • Use Generators!

• Easy generation of programmatic CodeGenerator

  • improve API for recursive calls, parameter checks/load, etc

Tests:

• IR test
• random distribution tests: need Verify and Generators!
