Fair point. From a memory-bottleneck perspective, it would help. I still
think it's unreasonable to be using that much memory _ever_, and am
certain it's related to the gobs-too-much-IR problem. But you're right
that this would be a viable strategy to get through memory peaks.
Where would you draw the line? Split middle::trans and back off from the
phases before them?
