-/// counter ID and maximum expression ID based on their enum variant `id` fields; then, as a
-/// safeguard, with `add_missing_operands` set to `true`, to find any other counter or expression
-/// IDs referenced by expression operands, if not already seen.

-/// Ideally, each operand ID in a MIR `CoverageKind::Expression` will have a separate MIR `Coverage`
-/// statement for the `Counter` or `Expression` with the referenced ID. but since current or future
-/// MIR optimizations can theoretically optimize out segments of a MIR, it may not be possible to
-/// guarantee this, so the second pass ensures the `CoverageInfo` counts include all referenced IDs.
+/// It's possible for a coverage expression to remain in MIR while one or both of its operands
+/// have been optimized away. To avoid problems in codegen, we include those operands' IDs when
+/// determining the maximum counter/expression ID, even if the underlying counter/expression is
+/// no longer present.
