checks if location a can be part of location b. We treat seqs and strings as pointers because the code gen often just passes them as such.
Note: a can only be part of b, if a's type can be part of b's type. Since however type analysis is more expensive, we perform it only if necessary.
cases:
- YES-cases:
- x <| x # for general trees x[] <| x x[i] <| x x.f <| x
NO-cases: x !<| y # depending on type and symbol kind x[constA] !<| x[constB] x.f !<| x.g x.f !<| y.f iff x !<= y
MAYBE-cases:
Source Editx[] ?<| y[] iff compatible type
x[] ?<| y depending on type
