1- Lexical scopes are removed (i.e., GIMPLE_BIND disappears).

2- GIMPLE_TRY and GIMPLE_CATCH are converted to abnormal control flow and exception regions are built as an on-the-side region hierarchy (See tree-eh.c:lower_eh_constructs).

3- Multiple identical return statements are grouped into a single return and gotos to the unique return site. Match a return statement with a label. During lowering, we identify identical return statements and replace duplicates with a jump to the corresponding label.
