/**
 * Conditional simplifier.
 *
 * Inserts assignments to condition variables if the value can be determined
 * from the control-flow.
 *
 * Destroys SSA form.
 *
 * Currently, this tool is very limited, mostly because we do not yet have support
 * for boolean types. Since conditions only check for expressions being nonzero,
 * we cannot assign a specific value.
 *
 * Current features:
 *  - switch cases: insert "<condition> := <caseLabel>"
 *  - after if statement with terminating control-flow, insert "<condition> := 0"
 *
 * Future features:
 *  - allow replacements by "1"
 *  - take termination of user-defined functions into account
 *
 * Works best with SSA form and if dead code removal has run before.
 *
 * Prerequisite: Disambiguator.
