FWIW, I think deleting and creating functions (or globals in general) 
should be hidden behind an API that would allow us to synchronize things 
in parallel runs.

I don't believe there are many passes that would be affected and we 
could "easily" make this happen. Hide the constructors and destructors 
so that only the friend API can access it.
