/// This is a very important LLVM class. It is the base class of all values 
/// computed by a program that may be used as operands to other values. Value is
/// the super class of other important classes such as Instruction and Function.
/// All Values have a Type. Type is not a subclass of Value. Some values can
/// have a name and they belong to some Module.  Setting the name on the Value
/// automatically updates the module's symbol table.
///
/// Every value has a "use list" that keeps track of which other Values are
/// using this Value.  A Value can also have an arbitrary number of ValueHandle
/// objects that watch it and listen to RAUW and Destroy events.  See
/// llvm/Support/ValueHandle.h for details.
