// This pass performs a strength reduction on array references inside loops that
// have as one or more of their components the loop induction variable.  This is
// accomplished by creating a new Value to hold the initial value of the array
// access for the first iteration, and then creating a new GEP instruction in
// the loop to increment the value by the appropriate amount.
//
// There are currently several deficiencies in the implementation, marked with
// FIXME in the code.
