// Moves annotated instances upwards in the module hierarchy. Corresponds to the
// `ExtractBlackBoxes`, `ExtractClockGates`, and `ExtractSeqMems` passes in the
// Scala FIRRTL implementation.
//
// This pass will make no modifications if the circuit does not contain a
// design-under-test (DUT).  I.e., this pass does not use the "effecctive" DUT.
// If a DUT exists, then anything in the design is extracted.  Using the
// standard interpretation of passes like this, layers are not in the design.
// If a situation arise where a module is instantiated inside and outside the
// design that needs to be extracted, then it will be extracted in both up to
// the point where it no longer needs to be further extracted.  See the tests
// for examples of this.
