// This pass performs a limited form of tail duplication, intended to simplify
// CFGs by removing some unconditional branches.  This pass is necessary to
// straighten out loops created by the C front-end, but also is capable of
// making other code nicer.  After this pass is run, the CFG simplify pass
// should be run to clean up the mess.
//
// This pass could be enhanced in the future to use profile information to be
// more aggressive.
