/// This file provides a collection of visitors which walk the (instruction)
/// uses of a pointer. These visitors all provide the same essential behavior
/// as an InstVisitor with similar template-based flexibility and
/// implementation strategies.
///
/// These can be used, for example, to quickly analyze the uses of an alloca,
/// global variable, or function argument.
///
/// FIXME: Provide a variant which doesn't track offsets and is cheaper.
