I think we should keep the passes numbered but arrange so they get numbered
automatically for each pass (i.e not hard coded in their names) The numbers
make it easy to determine the order in which each pass occurs without having
to back refer to documentation. Adding/removing/reordering passes would avoid
the need to shuffle all the numbers around it'll just happen.
