Well, -all is different.  It enables all the other TDFs (TDF_UID, 
TDF_LINENO, etc).  TDF_DETAILS works at a higher-level, it tells the pass 
to show more details about what it does.  It was meant to do things like 
show the activities done by the SSA propagator, for instance.

Good point.  Would you be willing to work on implementing this?  Or perhaps 
put it in the TODO list on the Wiki so someone else can work on it?

In the meantime, I don't have a strong objection to your TDF_ANALYSIS, so 
go ahead with it, if you want.


Thanks.
