Yeah, it is somewhat tempting to make the infrastructure more powerful
because you suddenly get more out of seemingly innocent passes.
However, a more powerful infrastructure creates problems of its own,
it needs to be maintained and it causes slowdowns even in passes that
do not need all the expressive power.

Yeah, that is the whole motivation behind the dynamic aspects of
mem-ssa, but getting it right has proven tricky.  Unfortunately, I
have not had time to come back to that idea in some time.
