// BRANCH TRANSFORMATIONS:
//      At each IF/(IF else).
//         Count underneath $display/$stop statements.
//         If more on if than else, this branch is unlikely, or vice-versa.
//      At each FTASKREF,
//         Count calls into the function
//      Then, if FTASK is called only once, add inline attribute
