+// The MethodLiveness class performs a simple liveness analysis on a method
+// in order to decide which locals are live (that is, will be used again) at
+// a particular bytecode index (bci).
+//
+// The algorithm goes:
+//
+// 1. Break the method into a set of basic blocks.  For each basic block we
+//    also keep track of its set of predecessors through normal control flow
+//    and predecessors through exceptional control flow.
+//
+// 2. For each basic block, compute two sets, gen (the set of values used before
+//    they are defined) and kill (the set of values defined before they are used)
+//    in the basic block.  A basic block "needs" the locals in its gen set to
+//    perform its computation.  A basic block "provides" values for the locals in
+//    its kill set, allowing a need from a successor to be ignored.
+//
+// 3. Liveness information (the set of locals which are needed) is pushed backwards through
+//    the program, from blocks to their predecessors.  We compute and store liveness
+//    information for the normal/exceptional exit paths for each basic block.  When
+//    this process reaches a fixed point, we are done.
+//
+// 4. When we are asked about the liveness at a particular bci with a basic block, we
+//    compute gen/kill sets which represent execution from that bci to the exit of
+//    its blocks.  We then compose this range gen/kill information with the normal
+//    and exceptional exit information for the block to produce liveness information
+//    at that bci.
+//
+// The algorithm is approximate in many respects.  Notably:
+//
+// 1. We do not do the analysis necessary to match jsr's with the appropriate ret.
+//    Instead we make the conservative assumption that any ret can return to any
+//    jsr return site.
+// 2. Instead of computing the effects of exceptions at every instruction, we
+//    summarize the effects of all exceptional continuations from the block as
+//    a single set (_exception_exit), losing some information but simplifying the
+//    analysis.
