I originally was going to have it use AA to compute ModRef at the top, but that seemed potentially slower (since we already know PI aliases). I wasn't sure how else to centralize the test and also preserve exit early unless I just duplicate it at the top and after the loop (`if (Access == ModRefInfo::ModRef) return false`)?
