Adjust this comment to reflect the requirement to check dominance.

i.e. "are safe to speculate anywhere their operands are defined"

From the comment, this sounds like it's going to be smarted than isSafeToExpand where it's really more restrictive.

Maybe add a TODO about handling cases which aren't *generally* safe to speculate but are safe to speculate *at this particular location*?
