Precisely. And there's other code which should, IMHO have a well defined
API. Examples off the top of my head would be the dominator tree walker
and the SSA-CCP engine.

Right. In fact, I think we might as well make high-level documentation a
requirement for the tree-ssa bits. It shouldn't be a surprise that I've
already cobbled something together for the dominator walker and the
dominator optimizer.
