+/// Prepare "thin" LTO to get run on these modules.
+///
+/// The general structure of ThinLTO is quite different from the structure of
+/// "fat" LTO above. With "fat" LTO all LLVM modules in question are merged into
+/// one giant LLVM module, and then we run more optimization passes over this
+/// big module after internalizing most symbols. Thin LTO, on the other hand,
+/// avoid this large bottleneck through more targeted optimization.
+///
+/// At a high level Thin LTO looks like:
+///
+///    1. Prepare a "summary" of each LLVM module in question which describes
+///       the values inside, cost of the values, etc.
+///    2. Merge the summaries of all modules in question into one "index"
+///    3. Perform some global analysis on this index
+///    4. For each module, use the index and analysis calculated previously to
+///       perform local transformations on the module, for example inlining
+///       small functions from other modules.
+///    5. Run thin-specific optimization passes over each module, and then code
+///       generate everything at the end.
+///
+/// The summary for each module is intended to be quite cheap, and the global
+/// index is relatively quite cheap to create as well. As a result, the goal of
+/// ThinLTO is to reduce the bottleneck on LTO and enable LTO to be used in more
+/// situations. For example one cheap optimization is that we can parallelize
+/// all codegen modules, easily making use of all the cores on a machine.
+///
+/// With all that in mind, the function here is designed at specifically just
+/// calculating the *index* for ThinLTO. This index will then be shared amongst
+/// all of the `LtoModuleCodegen` units returned below and destroyed once
+/// they all go out of scope.
