+//
+// This interface is used to identify and classify induction variables that
+// exist in the program. Induction variables must contain a PHI node that
+// exists in a loop header. Because of this, they are identified an managed by
+// this PHI node.
+//
+// Induction variables are classified into a type. Knowing that an induction
+// variable is of a specific type can constrain the values of the start and
+// step. For example, a SimpleLinear induction variable must have a start and
+// step values that are constants.
+//
+// Induction variables can be created with or without loop information. If no
+// loop information is available, induction variables cannot be recognized to be
+// more than SimpleLinear variables.
