Sorry for the delay.

Looks like I misread the code of `canTrap`.

It's not broken at the moment. It didn't work the way I'd expect after I modified `isSafeToSpeculativelyExecute`. If I get it right this time, I need to duplicate checks in `isSafeToSpeculativelyExecute` and `canTrap`, because the former one doesn't call the later one.

It works fine while these two functions are in sync, I missed that it's important to update both of them at the same time.

Thanks, now I understand that new checks should be introduced in a different way.
