// This file defines utilities for working with "normalized" ScalarEvolution
// expressions.
//
// The following example illustrates post-increment uses and how normalized
// expressions help.
//
//   for (i=0; i!=n; ++i) {
//     ...
//   }
//   use(i);
//
// While the expression for most uses of i inside the loop is {0,+,1}<%L>, the
// expression for the use of i outside the loop is {1,+,1}<%L>, since i is
// incremented at the end of the loop body. This is inconveient, since it
// suggests that we need two different induction variables, one that starts
// at 0 and one that starts at 1. We'd prefer to be able to think of these as
// the same induction variable, with uses inside the loop using the
// "pre-incremented" value, and uses after the loop using the
// "post-incremented" value.
//
// Expressions for post-incremented uses are represented as an expression
// paired with a set of loops for which the expression is in "post-increment"
// mode (there may be multiple loops).
