///   * Replaces x.append(y) with x = y if x is empty.
///   * Removes x.append("")
///   * Replaces x.append(y) with x = x + y if x and y are constant strings.
///   * Replaces _typeName(T.self) with a constant string if T is statically

///   * Replaces String(literal).utf8CString with the string literal itself.

/// place.
///
/// The optimization is implemented in a simple way. Therfore it cannot handle
/// complicated patterns, e.g. the dataflow analysis for the String.append self
/// argument is only done within a single block.
/// But this is totally sufficient to be able to constant propagate strings in
/// string interpolations.
