 ## algorithm.
 ## The used data structure is "union find" with path compression.
 
+## We perform two passes over the AST:
+## - Pass one (``computeLiveRanges``): collect livetimes of local
+##   variables and whether they are potentially re-assigned.
+## - Pass two (``traverse``): combine local variables to abstract "graphs".
+##   Strict func checking: Ensure that graphs that are connected to
+##   const parameters are not mutated.
+##   Cursor inference: Ensure that potential cursors are not
+##     borrowed from locations that are connected to a graph
+##     that is mutated during the liveness of the cursor.
+##     (We track all possible mutations of a graph.)
