// The goal of this pass is optimization (reducing runtime) by removing
// unnecessary instructions. Unlike other passes that rely on local information
// gathered from patterns to accomplish optimization, this pass uses a full
// analysis of the IR, specifically, liveness analysis, and is thus more
// powerful.
//
// Currently, this pass performs the following optimizations:
// (A) Removes function arguments that are not live,
// (B) Removes function return values that are not live across all callers of
// the function,
// (C) Removes unneccesary operands, results, region arguments, and region
// terminator operands of region branch ops, and,
// (D) Removes simple and region branch ops that have all non-live results and
// don't affect memory in any way,
//
// iff
//
// the IR doesn't have any non-function symbol ops, non-call symbol user ops and
// branch ops.
//
// Here, a "simple op" refers to an op that isn't a symbol op, symbol-user op,
// region branch op, branch op, region branch terminator op, or return-like.

  //    %1:2 = call @f(%arg1) : (memref<i32>) -> i32
