Comment (by carter):

 schyler, you raise a good point. Currently HOOPL isn't used at all! This
 is because a *single* hoopl pass will apparently increase the compilation
 time of programs by 5%, so adding a number of hoopl passes would seriously
 blow up the compilation time.

 i'm not really touching on improving the optimization story, that'd be a
 subsequent effort and much more work.
