Currently when the CSE phase eliminates an operation, it inserts a Phantom node that keeps alive all of the eliminated node's children up to the point at which the eliminated node used to be. This is necessary for OSR. But this is too much - often nodes have children that contain values that are not relevant to OSR, like GetButterfly, most cases of SkipScope, or even most GetLocal nodes since the thing being GetLocal'd is already in the local anyway - so unless you have a GetLocal/SetLocal combo then OSR won't care about the GetLocal. Instead, Phantoms should only contain references to those children of the eliminated node that had a SetLocal, since that is what makes them relevant to OSR.
