It can actually be nice to to use
isAfterValueonControlFlowNodepost CFG construction. But in those use-cases the semantics you want (and expect) is actually different from what's onPreControlFlowNode. And usingPreControlFlowNode::isAfterValueafter the CFG is constructed is almost guaranteed to be wrong. Fortunately we can simply shadow the predicates to get a more useful and safer API sincePreControlFlowNodeisfinal.The 3 added predicates are not used anywhere yet.
