    // fetching an archive member written earlier in the command line. It can be
    // used to keep compatibility with GNU linkers to some degree.
    // I'll explain the feature and why you may find it useful in this comment.
    //
    // lld's symbol resolution semantics is more relaxed than traditional Unix
    // linkers. For example,
    //
    //   ld.lld foo.a bar.o
    //
    // succeeds even if bar.o contains an undefined symbol that has to be
    // resolved by some object file in foo.a. Traditional Unix linkers don't
    // allow this kind of backward reference, as they visit each file only once
    // from left to right in the command line while resolving all undefined
    // symbols at the moment of visiting.
    //
    // In the above case, since there's no undefined symbol when a linker visits
    // foo.a, no files are pulled out from foo.a, and because the linker forgets
    // about foo.a after visiting, it can't resolve undefined symbols in bar.o
    // that could have been resolved otherwise.
    //
    // That lld accepts more relaxed form means that (besides it'd make more
    // sense) you can accidentally write a command line or a build file that
    // works only with lld, even if you have a plan to distribute it to wider
    // users who may be using GNU linkers. With --warn-backrefs, you can detect
    // a library order that doesn't work with other Unix linkers.
    //
    // The option is also useful to detect cyclic dependencies between static
    // archives. Again, lld accepts
    //
    //   ld.lld foo.a bar.a
    //
    // even if foo.a and bar.a depend on each other. With --warn-backrefs, it is
    // handled as an error.
    //
    // Here is how the option works. We assign a group ID to each file. A file
    // with a smaller group ID can pull out object files from an archive file
    // with an equal or greater group ID. Otherwise, it is a reverse dependency
    // and an error.
    //
    // A file outside --{start,end}-group gets a fresh ID when instantiated. All
    // files within the same --{start,end}-group get the same group ID. E.g.
    //
    //   ld.lld A B --start-group C D --end-group E
    //
    // A forms group 0. B form group 1. C and D (including their member object
    // files) form group 2. E forms group 3. I think that you can see how this
