+/// How is a value used in the IR?
+///
+/// This can be seen as a coarsening of an integer count. We only need
+/// distinct states for zero, one, or many.
+///
+/// This analysis deserves further explanation. The basic idea is that
+/// we want to allow instruction lowering to know whether a value that
+/// an instruction references is *only* referenced by that one use, or
+/// by others as well. This is necessary to know when we might want to
+/// move a side-effect: we cannot, for example, duplicate a load, so
+/// we cannot let instruction lowering match a load as part of a
+/// subpattern and potentially incorporate it.
+///
+/// Note that a lot of subtlety comes into play once we have
+/// *indirect* uses. The classical example of this in our development
+/// history was the x86 compare instruction, which is incorporated
+/// into flags users (e.g. `selectif`, `trueif`, branches) and can
+/// subsequently incorporate loads, or at least we would like it
+/// to. However, danger awaits: the compare might be the only user of
+/// a load, so we might think we can just move the load (and nothing
+/// is duplicated -- success!), except that the compare itself is
+/// codegen'd in multiple places, where it is incorporated as a
+/// subpattern itself.
+///
+/// So we really want a notion of "unique all the way along the
+/// matching path". Rust's `&T` and `&mut T` offer a partial analogy
+/// to the semantics that we want here: we want to know when we've
+/// matched a unique use of an instruction, and that instruction's
+/// unique use of another instruction, etc, just as `&mut T` can only
+/// be obtained by going through a chain of `&mut T`. If one has a
+/// `&T` to a struct containing `&mut T` (one of several uses of an
+/// instruction that itself has a unique use of an instruction), one
+/// can only get a `&T` (one can only get a "I am one of several users
+/// of this instruction" result).
+///
+/// We could track these paths, either dynamically as one "looks up the operand
+/// tree" or precomputed. But the former requires state and means that the
+/// `Lower` API carries that state implicitly, which we'd like to avoid if we
+/// can. And the latter implies O(n^2) storage: it is an all-pairs property (is
+/// inst `i` unique from the point of view of `j`).
+///
+/// To make matters even a little more complex still, a value that is
+/// not uniquely used when initially viewing the IR can *become*
+/// uniquely used, at least as a root allowing further unique uses of
+/// e.g. loads to merge, if no other instruction actually merges
+/// it. To be more concrete, if we have `v1 := load; v2 := op v1; v3
+/// := op v2; v4 := op v2` then `v2` is non-uniquely used, so from the
+/// point of view of lowering `v4` or `v3`, we cannot merge the load
+/// at `v1`. But if we decide just to use the assigned register for
+/// `v2` at both `v3` and `v4`, then we only actually codegen `v2`
+/// once, so it *is* a unique root at that point and we *can* merge
+/// the load.
+///
+/// Note also that the color scheme is not sufficient to give us this
+/// information, for various reasons: reasoning about side-effects
+/// does not tell us about potential duplication of uses through pure
+/// ops.
+///
+/// To keep things simple and avoid error-prone lowering APIs that
+/// would extract more information about whether instruction merging
+/// happens or not (we don't have that info now, and it would be
+/// difficult to refactor to get it and make that refactor 100%
+/// correct), we give up on the above "can become unique if not
+/// actually merged" point. Instead, we compute a
+/// transitive-uniqueness. That is what this enum represents.
+///
+/// To define it plainly: a value is `Unused` if no references exist
+/// to it; `Once` if only one other op refers to it, *and* that other
+/// op is `Unused` or `Once`; and `Multiple` otherwise. In other
+/// words, `Multiple` is contagious: even if an op's result value is
+/// directly used only once in the CLIF, that value is `Multiple` if
+/// the op that uses it is itself used multiple times (hence could be
+/// codegen'd multiple times). In brief, this analysis tells us
+/// whether, if every op merged all of its operand tree, a given op
+/// could be codegen'd in more than one place.
+///
+/// To compute this, we first consider direct uses. At this point
+/// `Unused` answers are correct, `Multiple` answers are correct, but
+/// some `Once`s may change to `Multiple`s. Then we propagate
+/// `Multiple` transitively using a workqueue/fixpoint algorithm.
