+ * Optimizer stage that tries to replace repeated assignments to
+ * existing variables by declarations of new variables as much as
+ * possible.
+ * The reassignments are still there, but all references to the
+ * reassigned variables are replaced by the newly declared variables.
+ *
+ * Example:
+ * {
+ * let a := 1
+ * mstore(a, 2)
+ * a := 3
+ * }
+ * is transformed to
+ * {
+ * let a_1 := 1
+ * let a := a_1
+ * mstore(a_1, 2)
+ * let a_3 := 3
+ * a := a_3
+ * }
+ *
+ * Exact semantics:
+ *
+ * For any variable a that is assigned to somewhere in the code (assignment with
+ * declaration does not count) perform the following transforms:
+ * - replace "let a := v" by "let a_1 := v let a := a_1"
+ * - replace "a := v" by "let a_1 := v a := a_1"
+ * Furthermore, always note the current variable/value assigned to a and replace each
+ * reference to a by this variable.
+ * The current value mapping is cleared for a variable a at the end of each block
+ * in which it was assigned and just after the for loop init block if it is assigned
+ * inside the for loop.
+ *
+ * After this stage, redundantAssignmentRemover is recommended to remove the unnecessary
+ * intermediate assignments.
+ *
+ * This stage provides best results if CSE is run right before it, because
+ * then it does not generate excessive amounts of variables.
+ *
+ * TODO Which transforms are required to keep this idempotent?
