I recently stumbled upon this diagram of compiler architecture, so I thought I'll share a diagram of declared dependencies between lowerings, see the thread (in this particular case, it's for JS IR backend). It's a part of working on Python backend (https://github.com/krzema12/kotlin-python, #python). It can get out of date quickly, so long-term it would be best to have it auto-generated. The code responsible for generating it is for now here in a GitHub issue. Should be easy to adapt for JVM or any other backend

If you just extracted those from `prerequisite`parameter of `makeLoweringPhase`declarations, then I assume this map is probably much incomplete as it is impossible to mark and maintain all the dependencies (including optimization ones) of a particular phase. I guess these are just some most obvious ones that someone felt like it's important to specify, but generally phases relay on the global ordering. Prove me wrong.

true, implicit dependencies exist in the global ordering and the true value of this diagram is questionable
