     12 /// instruction or some other User instance which refers to a Value.  The Use
     13 /// class keeps the "use list" of the referenced value up to date.
     14 ///
     15 /// Pointer tagging is used to efficiently find the User corresponding to a Use
     16 /// without having to store a User pointer in every Use. A User is preceded in
     17 /// memory by all the Uses corresponding to its operands, and the low bits of
     18 /// one of the fields (Prev) of the Use class are used to encode offsets to be
     19 /// able to find that User given a pointer to any Use. For details, see:
