Not fully. It improves the current behaviour by ensuring files always go
through attr and flow as a unit, but classes may still be desugared
separately from their compilation unit.

One of the test cases has compilation units [One, Two] and [Three, Four],
where Two extends Four, and Three extends One. There's no way to linearize
that so supertypes are desugared first and files are desugared as a unit.

Are there still plans to remove the ordering constraint in TransTypes?
