// The StripSymbols transformation implements code stripping. Specifically, it
// can delete:
//
//   * names for virtual registers
//   * symbols for internal globals and functions
//   * debug information
//
// Note that this transformation makes code much less readable, so it should
// only be used in situations where the 'strip' utility would be used, such as
// reducing code size or making it harder to reverse engineer code.
