/**
 * Calculates types for local variables. For purposes of local variable type calculation, the only types used are
 * Undefined, boolean, int, long, double, and Object. The calculation eagerly widens types of local variable to their
 * widest at control flow join points.
 * TODO: investigate a more sophisticated solution that uses use/def information to only widens the type of a local
 * variable to its widest used type after the join point. That would eliminate some widenings of undefined variables to
 * object, most notably those used only in loops. We need a full liveness analysis for that. Currently, we can establish
 * per-type liveness, which eliminates most of unwanted dead widenings.
