+%% Common term types for passes operating on beam SSA and assembly. Helper
+%% functions for wrangling these can be found in beam_types.erl
+%%
+%% The type lattice is as follows:
+%%
+%% any Any Erlang term (top element).
+%%
+%% - #t_atom{} Atom, or a set thereof.
+%% - #t_bitstring{} Bitstring.
+%% - #t_bs_context{} Match context.
+%% - #t_fun{} Fun.
+%% - #t_map{} Map.
+%% - number Any number.
+%% -- float Floating point number.
+%% -- integer Integer.
+%% - list Any list.
+%% -- cons Cons (nonempty list).
+%% -- nil The empty list.
+%% - #t_tuple{} Tuple.
+%%
+%% none No type (bottom element).
+%%
+%% We also use #t_union{} to represent conflicting types produced by certain
+%% expressions, e.g. the "#t_atom{} or #t_tuple{}" of lists:keyfind/3, which is
+%% very useful for preserving type information when we would otherwise have
+%% reduced it to 'any'. Since few operations can make direct use of this extra
+%% type information, types should generally be normalized to one of the above
+%% before use.
