// traditional algorithm to resolve detailed live-range information about all

/// to compute all live-in and live-out values of all included blocks.
/// Sample usage:
///   Liveness liveness(topLevelOp);
///   auto &allInValues = liveness.getLiveIn(block);
///   auto &allOutValues = liveness.getLiveOut(block);
///   auto allOperationsInWhichValueIsLive = liveness.resolveLiveness(value);
