-<p>Currently, the <tt>PassManager</tt>'s <tt>run</tt> method takes a <tt><a

-<p>To solve this problem, eventually the <tt>PassManager</tt> class will accept
-a <tt>ModuleSource</tt> object instead of a Module itself.  When complete, this
-will also allow for streaming of functions out of the bytecode representation,
-allowing us to avoid holding the entire program in memory at once if we only are
-dealing with <a href="#FunctionPass">FunctionPass</a>es.</p>
-
-<p>As part of a different issue, eventually the bytecode loader will be extended
-to allow on-demand loading of functions from the bytecode representation, in
-order to better support the runtime reoptimizer.  The bytecode format is already
-capable of this, the loader just needs to be reworked a bit.</p>
