9/// A [live-variable dataflow analysis][liveness].
10///
11/// This analysis considers references as being used only at the point of the
12/// borrow. In other words, this analysis does not track uses because of references that already
13/// exist. See [this `mir-dataflow` test][flow-test] for an example. You almost never want to use
14/// this analysis without also looking at the results of [`MaybeBorrowedLocals`].
15///
16/// ## Field-(in)sensitivity
17///
18/// As the name suggests, this analysis is field insensitive. If a projection of a variable `x` is
19/// assigned to (e.g. `x.0 = 42`), it does not "define" `x` as far as liveness is concerned. In fact,
20/// such an assignment is currently marked as a "use" of `x` in an attempt to be maximally
21/// conservative.
