+// General-purpose FIR loop canonicalization pass.
+//
+// Transforms fir.do_loop nests into a canonical form suitable for affine
+// promotion and loop optimizations (tiling, fusion, interchange, etc.).
+//
+// The canonical form has:
+//   - No iter_args (shadow induction variable copies removed)
+//   - No memory-based IV tracking inside the loop body
+//   - Final IV values computed and stored after the outermost loop
+//
+// === Design Overview ===
+//
+// Analysis phase (per loop nest):
+//   1. Collect perfectly nested fir.do_loop chain.
+//   2. For each loop, verify iter_arg is a shadow of the induction variable:
+//      - init = fir.convert(lower_bound)
+//      - yield = arith.addi(iter_arg_or_load_of_iv, fir.convert(step))
+//   3. Verify safety conditions:
+//      a. Only one store to IV alloca inside loop (the init store of iter_arg)
+//      b. No function/subroutine calls in the nest
+//      c. IV alloca does not escape (only load/store/declare users)
+//      d. Loop results are only used for final IV stores
+//
+// Transformation phase:
+//   1. For each loop (innermost first):
+//      a. Remove the initial store (fir.store %iter_arg to %iv_alloca)
+//      b. Forward all loads of IV alloca inside loop body to fir.convert(IV)
+//      todo: the forwarding of load of iv alloca can be done by some other pass like fir-memref-dataflow-opt pass (if it is available).
+//      c. Strip iter_args and fir.result, rebuild as simple fir.do_loop
+//   2. After the outermost loop, compute and store final IV values
+//      for all loops whose IV is live after the loop (outer to inner order).
+//      Fortran final value: final_iv = lb + ((ub - lb + step) / step) * step
+//      which equals the value of the iter_arg after the last increment.

This function does not guarantee perfect nesting. It will return any nest of do loops, so long as there aren't more than one loop in the body of each.
