// This pass is a nonce pass intended to allow manipulation of the implicitly
// nesting pass manager. For example, it can be used to cause a CGSCC pass
// manager to be closed prior to running a new collection of function passes.
//
// FIXME: This is a huge HACK. This should be removed when the pass manager's
// nesting is made explicit instead of implicit.
