Get default representation for data representation of this type. This representation is used when converting to data instrucutres, which holds value as data.

Get default representation for type variable. This representation is used when converting to parameters of scala functions with type parameters. (Usually the same as defaultDataRepresentation, except Lambdas).

Generate constructor for this type — the workhorse, takes pre-lowered arguments. Implementations override this. Always called on DataDecl.tp (or a more specific case-class type for Sum→Product dispatch).

Value parameters
constr
constructor SIR node (carries name, decl, parentTypeArgs, anns, tp)
loweredArgs
already-lowered constructor arguments, in declaration order. Length matches constr.args.
optTargetType
optional target type (e.g., for Nil typing where the constr's declared tp is List[Nothing]).
Convenience entry point — pre-lowers constr.args and delegates to genConstrLowered. Use this when the caller hasn't already lowered the arguments; callers that have pre-lowered arguments (like the main lowering driver) should call genConstrLowered directly to avoid double-lowering. Marked final so all dispatch decisions live in genConstrLowered and its overrides.
