+// This class defines a simple subclass of User, which keeps a pointer to a
+// Value, which automatically updates when Value::replaceAllUsesWith is called.
+// This is useful when you have pointers to Value's in your pass, but the
+// pointers get invalidated when some other portion of the algorithm is
+// replacing Values with other Values.
