+/// The major preconditions for correctness to remove such partial

+/// 1. A in B = A in BB2 is defined by a PHI in BB2, and one operand of
+///    the PHI is defined by the reversed copy A = B in BB0.
+/// 2. No B is referenced from the start of BB2 to B = A.
+/// 3. No B is defined from A = B to the end of BB0.
+/// 4. BB1 has only one successor.
+///
+/// 2 and 4 implicitly ensure B is not live at the end of BB1.
+/// 4 guarantees BB2 is hotter than BB1, so we can only move a copy to a
+/// colder place, which not only prevent endless loop, but also make sure
