Algorithm without file-level logic:

0. Remove empty lines
1. Reduce part of translation unit after last line starting with '#' using all 
available passes.
2. Aggressively eliminate / replace with forward declaration any unused 
function / classes.
3. Move to the next non-empty section between lines starting with '#'
