-// - ContextPromotion
-//   Like mem2reg, but because context memory is unaliasable it's easier to
-//   check and convert LoadContext/StoreContext into value operations.
-//   Example of load->value promotion:
-//     v0 = load_context +100
-//     store_context +200, v0
-//     v1 = load_context +100  <-- replace with v1 = v0
-//     store_context +200, v1
-//
-//   It'd be possible in this stage to also remove redundant context stores:
-//   Example of dead store elimination:
-//     store_context +100, v0  <-- removed due to following store
-//     store_context +100, v1
-//   This is more generally done by DSE, however if it could be done here
-//   instead as it may be faster (at least on the block-level).
-//
-// - ConstantPropagation
-//   Once ContextPromotion has run there will likely be a whole slew of
-//   constants that can be pushed through the function.
-//   Example:
-//     store_context +100, 1000
-//     v0 = load_context +100
-//     v1 = add v0, v0
-//     store_context +200, v1
-//   after PromoteContext:
-//     store_context +100, 1000
-//     v0 = 1000
-//     v1 = add v0, v0
-//     store_context +200, v1
-//   after PropagateConstants:
-//     store_context +100, 1000
-//     v0 = 1000
-//     v1 = add 1000, 1000
-//     store_context +200, 2000
-//   A DCE run after this should clean up any of the values no longer needed.
