// The ScalarEvolution class is an LLVM pass which can be used to analyze and
// catagorize scalar expressions in loops.  It specializes in recognizing
// general induction variables, representing them with the abstract and opaque
// SCEV class.  Given this analysis, trip counts of loops and other important
// properties can be obtained.
//
// This analysis is primarily useful for induction variable substitution and
// strength reduction.
