> **Context**: `VTransform::optimize`. Works a bit like IGVN, it allows each node to perform optimizations. Recently introduced during JDK26.
>
> **Problem**: I made the assumption that we don't need a worklist mechanism, we can just do multiple passes over all nodes. The assumption was that there would not be any "trickling" of updates over the graph. But that is wrong: for example we can have a long chain of dead nodes, and we need to progressively remove the last node and mark it as dead.

> **Solution**: Implement proper worklist mechanism, so that updates can trickle over the graph.
