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