// This is a boolean type that is part of an abstract value lattice. It's useful for inferring what
// the boolean value of something is by exploring all boolean values we encounter.
//
// It's useful to think of a lattice as a set. The comments below also describe what the enum values
// mean in terms of sets.
//
// FIXME: This would work a lot better as a class with methods. Then we could ensure that the default
// value is always Bottom, we could have nice conversions to and from boolean, and things like the
// leastUpperBound function could be a member function with a nicer name.

    // Bottom means that we haven't seen any boolean values yet. We don't know what boolean value we
    // will infer yet. If we are left with Bottom after we have considered all booleans, it means
    // that we did not see any booleans.
    //
    // This represents the empty set.

    // having seen any booleans, Top bases its lack of knowledge based on having seen both False and
    // True.
