Here I think we're validating the correctness of:

  1. Potentially moving 'A' an interleaved load before any store 'B' or
  2. Potentially moving 'B' an interleaved store after any load/store 'A'.

If I am right, I don't think either the comment or the code is tight enough to reflect this.

It would also be good to add testcases for this.

It would be also great to add a testcase to the earlier problem that only candidate accesses were dependency-checked.

What do you think?
