... and about three times more memory spent, I would estimate. For a
single assignment statement, we have:

1) The var_decl node
2) The ssa name
3) modify_expr
4) operation_expr

+ pointers to link them together, versus

1) single entity containing just the operation code and two pointers to
   the arguments (+additional information like type, etc).
