 // This file defines the ScalarEvolutionAliasAnalysis pass, which implements a
 // simple alias analysis implemented in terms of ScalarEvolution queries.
 //
+// This differs from traditional loop dependence analysis in that it tests
+// for dependencies within a single iteration of a loop, rather than
+// dependences between different iterations.
+//
 // ScalarEvolution has a more complete understanding of pointer arithmetic
 // than BasicAliasAnalysis' collection of ad-hoc analyses.
