Description

For arguments such as x[.1..4f], the range is currently only passed as a hint for the consumer (e.g to generate webaudio params, gui controls etc.), there is no runtime protection to clamp the value to that range. The implementation needs to insert clamp(x,min,max) at the top of the function's body for those locals to enforce the range at runtime.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the code generation for function bodies and add a pass to insert clamp(x, min, max) for arguments with range annotations.
