## Message

```
stage2: progress towards stage3

 * The `@bitCast` workaround is removed in favor of `@ptrCast` properly
   doing element casting for slice element types. This required an
   enhancement both to stage1 and stage2.
 * stage1 incorrectly accepts `.{}` instead of `{}`. stage2 code that
   abused this is fixed.
 * Make some parameters comptime to support functions in switch
   expressions (as opposed to making them function pointers).
 * Avoid relying on local temporaries being mutable.
 * Workarounds for when stage1 and stage2 disagree on function pointer
   types.
 * Workaround recursive formatting bug with a `@panic("TODO")`.
 * Remove unreachable `else` prongs for some inferred error sets.

All in effort towards #89.

```
