+ * Optimiser component that modifies an AST in place, turning complex
+ * expressions into simple expressions and multiple variable declarations.
+ *
+ * Code of the form
+ *
+ * sstore(mul(x, 4), mload(y))
+ *
+ * is transformed into
+ *
+ * let a1 := mload(y)
+ * let a2 := mul(x, 4)
+ * sstore(a2, a1)
+ *
+ * The transformation is not applied to loop conditions, because the loop control flow
+ * does not allow "outlining" the inner expressions in all cases.
+ *
+ * The final program should be in a form such that with the exception of a loop condition,
+ * function calls can only appear in the right-hand side of a variable declaration,
+ * assignments or expression statements and all arguments have to be constants or variables.
