+<li>The -inline pass no longer inlines mutually recursive functions until it
+hits the inlining threshold.</li>
+
+<li>The -inline pass no longer misses obvious inlining opportunities just

+
+<li>The -loopsimplify pass can now break <a

+into multiple nested loops.  This enables a variety of subsequent
