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.
