// Implements a class that is able to define some instructions as "special"
// (e.g. as having implicit control flow, or writing memory, or having another
// interesting property) and then efficiently answers queries of the types:
// 1. Are there any special instructions in the block of interest?
// 2. Return first of the special instructions in the given block;
// 3. Check if the given instruction is preceeded by the first special
//    instruction in the same block.
// The class provides caching that allows to answer these queries quickly. The
// user must make sure that the cached data is invalidated properly whenever
// a content of some tracked block is changed.
