The whole C module is first translated, and then the optimizer runs over the
output code by function. With this implementation, the smallest chunk of code
that can be optimized (or not) is a function.

So, what would be possible is to have optimizations on a function by function
level. This is not exactly what you wanted, but it's probably better than
nothing:-)
