// Represents the size of a MemoryLocation. Logically, it's an
// std::optional<uint63_t> that also carries a bit to represent whether the
// integer it contains, N, is 'precise'. Precise, in this context, means that we
// know that the area of storage referenced by the given MemoryLocation must be
// precisely N bytes. An imprecise value is formed as the union of two or more
// precise values, and can conservatively represent all of the values unioned
// into it. Importantly, imprecise values are an *upper-bound* on the size of a
// MemoryLocation.
//
// Concretely, a precise MemoryLocation is (%p, 4) in
// store i32 0, i32* %p
//
// Since we know that %p must be at least 4 bytes large at this point.
// Otherwise, we have UB. An example of an imprecise MemoryLocation is (%p, 4)
// at the memcpy in
//
//   %n = select i1 %foo, i64 1, i64 4
//   call void @llvm.memcpy.p0i8.p0i8.i64(i8* %p, i8* %baz, i64 %n, i32 1,
//                                        i1 false)
//
// ...Since we'll copy *up to* 4 bytes into %p, but we can't guarantee that
// we'll ever actually do so.
//
// If asked to represent a pathologically large value, this will degrade to
// std::nullopt.
// Store Scalable information in bit 62 of Value. Scalable information is
// required to do Alias Analysis on Scalable quantities
