  /** <p>
   *    This class performs a set of checks similar to what the bytecode
   *    verifier does. For each basic block, it checks that:
   *  </p>
   *  <ul>
   *    <li>
   *      for primitive operations: the type and number of operands match
   *      the type of the operation
   *    </li>
   *    <li>
   *      for method calls: the method exists in the type of the receiver
   *      and the number and type of arguments match the declared type of
   *      the method.
   *    </li>
   *    <li>
   *      for object creation: the constructor can be called.
   *    </li>
   *    <li>
   *      for load/stores: the field/local/param exists and the type
   *      of the value matches that of the target.
   *    </li>
   *  </ul>
   *  <p>
   *    For a control flow graph it checks that type stacks at entry to
   *    each basic block 'agree':
   *  </p>
   *  <ul>
   *    <li>they have the same length</li>
   *    <li>there exists a lub for all types at the same position in stacks.</li>
   *  </ul>

   *        Better checks for local var initializations
   *
   *  @todo Iulian says: I think there's some outdated logic in the checker.
   * The issue with exception handlers being special for least upper
   * bounds pointed out some refactoring in the lattice class. Maybe
   * a worthwhile refactoring would be to make the checker use the
   * DataFlowAnalysis class, and use the lattice trait. In the
   * implementation of LUB, there's a flag telling if one of the
   * successors is 'exceptional'. The inliner is using this mechanism.
