[llvm-dev] Get Num of Uses in only dominated blocks?

[Daniel Berlin via llvm-dev]

LLVM is in SSA, which means that by definition, any uses are dominated by
the definition.

So getNumUses does, in fact, give you the answer of "what is the number of
uses that are dominated by this definition".

Unless i'm missing what you are really after?
