I don't think that's a good idea. Much better would be just to
not emit diagnostics, which shouldn't be emitted for dead code, right away,
but instead of that queue it into the IL (in a form of something
like __builtin_diagnostics, or something similar). Then after cfg cleanup + DCE
has been run (or at expansion time?) we could issue diagnostics for the
__builtin_diagnostics left in the IL afterwards. For -O0 if no DCE happens
at all we could have some cheap pass that would just nuke obviously unreachable
__builtin_diagnostics and don't modify the IL otherwise (of course gated on
whether there are any in the IL).
