+/// This transformation implements the well known scalar replacement of
+/// aggregates transformation. It tries to identify promotable elements of an
+/// aggregate alloca, and promote them to registers. It will also try to
+/// convert uses of an element (or set of elements) of an alloca into a vector
+/// or bitfield-style integer scalar if appropriate.
+///
+/// It works to do this with minimal slicing of the alloca so that regions
+/// which are merely transferred in and out of external memory remain unchanged
+/// and are not decomposed to scalar code.
+///
+/// Because this also performs alloca promotion, it can be thought of as also
+/// serving the purpose of SSA formation. The algorithm iterates on the
+/// function until all opportunities for promotion have been realized.

Missed rewriting this to match current LSROA instead?
