- * Note that we use the terminology from Click's work here, which is different
+ * This is a slightly enhanced version of Cliff Clicks combo algorithm
+ * - support for commutative nodes is added, Add(a,b) and Add(b,a) ARE congruent
+ * - supports all Firm direct (by a data edge) identities except Mux
+ *   (Mux can be a 2-input or 1-input identity, only 2-input is implemented yet)
+ * - supports Confirm nodes (handle them like Copies but do NOT remove them)
+ * - let Cmp nodes calculate Top like all othe data nodes: this would let
+ *   Mux nodes to calculate Unknown instead of taking the true result
+ * - let Cond(Top) always select FALSE/default: This is tricky. Nodes are only reavaluated
+ *   IFF the predecessor changed its type. Because nodes are initialized with Top
+ *   this never happens, let all Proj(Cond) be unreachable.
+ *   We avoid this condition by the same way we work around Phi: whenever a Block
+ *   node is placed on the list, place its Cond nodes (and because they are Tuple
+ *   all its Proj-nodes either on the cprop list)
+ *   Especially, this changes the meaning of Click's example:
+ *
+ *   int main() {
+ *     int x;
+ *
+ *     if (x == 2)
+ *       printf("x == 2\n");
+ *     if (x == 3)
+ *       printf("x == 3\n");
+ *   }
+ *
+ *   Would print:
+ *   x == 2
+ *   x == 3
+ *
+ *   using Click's version while is silent with our.
+ * - support for global congruences is implemented but not tested yet
+ *
+ * Note further that we use the terminology from Click's work here, which is different
  * in some cases from Firm terminology.  Especially, Click's type is a
  * Firm tarval/entity, nevertheless we call it type here for "maximum compatibility".
