     This interface is meant to model well-defined cases of control-flow and
     value propagation, where what occurs along control-flow edges is assumed to
     be side-effect free.

+    edge is an incorrect implementation and may cause analyses/transformations
+    to produce incorrect results. (It is acceptable to over-approximate by
+    reporting edges that turn out to be infeasible at runtime.)
