+/// Simple control flow statements like `if` only produce a single state split,
+/// so the fact that they are included in the source code implies that both
+/// branches are possible (at least under some conditions) and the analyzer can
+/// freely assume either of them. (This is not entirely true, because there may
+/// be unmarked logical correlations between `if` statements, but is a good
+/// enough heuristic and the analyzer strongly relies on it.)
+/// On the other hand, in a loop the state may be split repeatedly at each
+/// evaluation of the loop condition, and this can lead to following "weak"
+/// assumptions even though the code does not imply that they're valid and the
+/// programmer intended to cover them.
