10// This transform is designed to eliminate unreachable internal globals from the
11// program.  It uses an aggressive algorithm, searching out globals that are
12// known to be alive.  After it finds all of the globals which are needed, it
13// deletes whatever is left over.  This allows it to delete recursive chunks of
14// the program which are unreachable.
