repa representation


Word description
Gets the representation for a virtual register. This word cannot be called before representation selection has run; use any-rep for ##copy instructions and so on.

Notes
Throws bad-vreg if the representation for the vreg isn't known.
A virtual register can change representation during its lifetime so this word can't always be used.
