// This file implements a variety of small optimizations for calls to specific
// well-known (e.g. runtime library) function calls. For example, a call to the
// function "exit(3)" that occurs within the main() function can be transformed
// into a simple "return 3" instruction. Any optimization that takes this form
// (replace call to library function with simpler code that provides same 
// result) belongs in this file.
