-This is one of the most important pieces of code in Cosmos. It's an AOT
-(Ahead-Of-Time) compiler.

-Cosmos is written in C# and Visual Studio compiles it into IL as always. But a
-PC does not come with an interpreter for the IL code. And writing a virtual

-This is where IL2CPU comes in. IL2CPU takes the IL code and translates it to processor opcodes. Currently, only x86 opcodes are available at the moment. However, more architectures are planned for the future (ARM, PowerPC, x86-64).
