 //! Module containing constant propagation for the typed AST
 //!
+//! On top of the usual behavior of removing statements which assign a constant to a variable (as the variable can simply be
+//! substituted for the constant whenever used), we provide a `verbose` mode which does not remove such statements. This is done
+//! as for partial passes which do not visit the whole program, the variables being defined may be be used in parts of the program
+//! that are not visited. Keeping the statements is semantically equivalent and enables rebuilding the set of constants at the
+//! next pass.
