// This class is used to get an estimate of the optimization effects that we
// could get from complete loop unrolling. It comes from the fact that some
// loads might be replaced with concrete constant values and that could trigger
// a chain of instruction simplifications.
//
// E.g. we might have:
//   int a[] = {0, 1, 0};
//   v = 0;
//   for (i = 0; i < 3; i ++)
//     v += b[i]*a[i];
// If we completely unroll the loop, we would get:
//   v = b[0]*a[0] + b[1]*a[1] + b[2]*a[2]
// Which then will be simplified to:
//   v = b[0]* 0 + b[1]* 1 + b[2]* 0
// And finally:
//   v = b[1]
