/// This defines the Use class.  The Use class represents the operand of an
/// instruction or some other User instance which refers to a Value.  The Use
/// class keeps the "use list" of the referenced value up to date.
///
/// Pointer tagging is used to efficiently find the User corresponding to a Use
/// without having to store a User pointer in every Use. A User is preceded in
/// memory by all the Uses corresponding to its operands, and the low bits of
/// one of the fields (Prev) of the Use class are used to encode offsets to be
/// able to find that User given a pointer to any Use. For details, see:
///
