+// This file provides PointerFlowPair and PointerFlowPairMatcher.
+//
+// PointerFlowPair represents an element '(l, r)' of the pointer-flow relation
+// over declarations and expressions of pointer/array type. Each pair
+// corresponds to a value-copying (or "assignment"-flavored) language construct
+// (e.g. an assignment, argument passing, a return, or an initialization).  It
+// requires that if 'l's type is refined to carry a property (e.g., buffer
+// bounds), then 'r's type must follow; otherwise the property would be
+// lost in value-copy from 'r' to 'l'.
+//
+// PointerFlowPairMatcher walks an AST node and collects the PointerFlowPairs 
it
+// generates. It outputs matched pairs '(l, r)' such that
+// - 'l' and 'r' have compatible types;
+// - 'l' is either a pointer or an array;
+// - 'r' may be a list-initializer, when it has an array type.

I just started reading the PR and it's not obvious to me why this is necessary.

I don't want to forget about this so commenting now and I might delete later if 
I find the explanation.
