 You can declare local variables in either registers or memory (the stack). So
 a `var` statement has two forms:
-  - `var x/eax: int <- copy 0`
-  - `var x: int`
+  - Living in a register, e.g. `var x/eax: int <- copy 0` defines `x` which
+    lives in `eax`.
+  - Living in memory, e.g. `var x: int` defines `x` on the stack.
 
 Variables in registers must be initialized. Variables on the stack are
 implicitly zeroed out.
