+ 3a) Variable resolver - chooses and creates an internal model of where variables are on the stack, as well as calling conventions for functions
+ 3b) Type translator - places and translates types (internal and external)
+ 3c) Container resolver - checks container (elf, exe, dll, app, out, etc.) and decides how to map the types for future linking
