/// A [live-variable dataflow analysis][liveness].
///
/// This analysis considers references as being used only at the point of the
/// borrow. In other words, this analysis does not track uses because of references that already
/// exist. See [this `mir-dataflow` test][flow-test] for an example. You almost never want to use
/// this analysis without also looking at the results of [`MaybeBorrowedLocals`].
///
/// ## Field-(in)sensitivity
///
/// As the name suggests, this analysis is field insensitive. If a projection of a variable `x` is
/// assigned to (e.g. `x.0 = 42`), it does not "define" `x` as far as liveness is concerned. In fact,
/// such an assignment is currently marked as a "use" of `x` in an attempt to be maximally
/// conservative.
///
/// ## Enums and `SetDiscriminant`
///
/// Assigning a literal value to an `enum` (e.g. `Option<i32>`), does not result in a simple
/// assignment of the form `_1 = /*...*/` in the MIR. For example, the following assignment to `x`:
///
/// ```
/// x = Some(4);
/// ```
///
/// compiles to this MIR
///
/// ```
/// ((_1 as Some).0: i32) = const 4_i32;
/// discriminant(_1) = 1;
/// ```
///
/// However, `MaybeLiveLocals` **does** mark `x` (`_1`) as "killed" after a statement like this.
/// That's because it treats the `SetDiscriminant` operation as a definition of `x`, even though
/// the writes that actually initialized the locals happened earlier.
///
/// This makes `MaybeLiveLocals` unsuitable for certain classes of optimization normally associated
/// with a live variables analysis, notably dead-store elimination. It's a dirty hack, but it works
/// okay for the generator state transform (currently the main consumuer of this analysis).
