-We should extend parameter attributes to capture more information about
-pointer parameters for alias analysis.  Some ideas:
-
-1. Add a "nocapture" attribute, which indicates that the callee does not store
-   the address of the parameter into a global or any other memory location
-   visible to the callee.  This can be used to make basicaa and other analyses
-   more powerful.  It is true for things like memcpy, strcat, and many other
-   things, including structs passed by value, most C++ references, etc.
-2. Generalize readonly to be set on parameters.  This is important mod/ref 
-   info for the function, which is important for basicaa and others.  It can
-   also be used by the inliner to avoid inserting a memcpy for byval 
-   arguments when the function is inlined.
-
-These functions can be inferred by various analysis passes such as the 
-globalsmodrefaa pass.  Note that getting #2 right is actually really tricky.
-Consider this code:
-
-struct S;  S G;
-void caller(S byvalarg) { G.field = 1; ... }
-void callee() { caller(G); }
-
-The fact that the caller does not modify byval arg is not enough, we need
-to know that it doesn't modify G either.  This is very tricky.
