+//! The initializer lowering module is responsible for additing initialization logic
+//! to PLC AST nodes. This includes generating default values for variables, handling
+//! constant expressions, and ensuring that all necessary initializations are present
+//! before code generation. The module traverses the AST and modifies nodes as needed
+//! to include initialization code, making sure that the resulting AST is ready for
+//! further compilation stages.
+//! Initialization logic is as follows:
+//! - Every struct(and POU) has an implicit initializer for constant fields.
+//!     - The name for this initializer is `<StructName>_init`
+//!     - The field is always private to the module
+//! - Every struct(and POU) has a constructor for fields with pointer assignments or non-constant values
+//!    - The name for this constructor is `<StructName>_ctor`
+//!    - The constructor is always public and implicitly uses the implicit initializer
+//! - Variables of the struct are initialized using the implicit initializer if their value is
+//!   derived at compile time, otherwise the constructor is used.
+//! - Global variables are initialized in a global constructor function called `__global_ctor`
+//!   - This function is called per module inside the static initialization code
+//!   - The function is private to the module
+//! - Stateless POUs (functions and methods) are initialized during their call.
+//!     - Variables of a stateless POU of a struct type are initialized using the constructor call.
+//! - External POUs and struct constructors are marked as `extern` and have no body.
+//! - External variables are not re-initialized in the global constructor, they are assumed to be
+//!   initialized externally.
+//! - Bulit-in types and variables are not re-initialized in the global
+//! constructor.
