 @subsection Overview
 
+At a high-level, we're doing coverage-guided symbolic execution of the
+user's code.

 The analyzer implementation works on the gimple-SSA representation.
 (I chose this in the hopes of making it easy to work with LTO to
 do whole-program analysis).
@@ -55,7 +58,9 @@ Next is the heart of the analyzer: we use a worklist to explore state
 within the supergraph, building an "exploded graph".
 Nodes in the exploded graph correspond to <point,@w{ }state> pairs, as in

 We reuse nodes for <point, state> pairs we've already seen, and avoid
 tracking state too closely, so that (hopefully) we rapidly converge
