(** Global deadcode elimination pass.

This module provides a global liveness analysis more powerful than
that found in [deadcode.ml]. In particular, this analysis annotates
blocks with the specific fields that are live. It also uses
[global_flow.ml] to determine the liveness of function return
values. It first computes an initial liveness of each variable by
traversing the program IR.  Then it propagates this information to
the dependencies of each variable using a flow analysis
solver. Lastly it replaces dead variables with a sentinal zero
variable (the JS value `undefined`).

Although this module does not perform any dead-code elimination
itself, it is designed to be used to identify and substitute dead
variables that are then removed by [deadcode.ml]. In particular it
allows for the elimination of unused functions defined in functors,
which the original deadcode elimination cannot.  *)
