10 // This pass implements an _extremely_ simple interprocedural constant
11 // propagation pass. It could certainly be improved in many different ways,
12 // like using a worklist. This pass makes arguments dead, but does not remove
13 // them. The existing dead argument elimination pass should be run after this
14 // to clean up the mess.
