----------------
I am not sure if this is a reliable way to check if the access is before the guard.

Consider:
```
switch(x): {
   case 2: guard; access; break;
   case 1: access break;
}
```

Here, we have no particular ordering between the access in case 1 and the guard in case 2 at runtime. But relying on the source locations we might come to the false conclusion that there is. Loops, gotos can cause similar problems.
I do understand that this might not be too easy to solve without traversing the cfg and we might not want to do that but I think we should at least add a test/todo.
