+/**
+ * Holds if `op == k` is `areEqual` given that `test` is equal to `value`.
+ *
+ * Many internal predicates in this file have a `inNonZeroCase` column.
+ * Ideally, the `k` column would be a type such as `Option<int>::Option`, to
+ * represent whether we have a concrete value `k` such that `op == k`, or whether
+ * we only know that `op != 0`.
+ * However, cannot instantiate `Option` with an infinite type. Thus the boolean
+ * `inNonZeroCase` is used to distinquish the `Some` (where we have a concrete
+ * value `k`) and `None` cases (where we only know that `op != 0`).
+ *
+ * Thus, if `inNonZeroCase = true` then `op != 0` and the value of `k` is
+ * meaningless.
+ *
+ * To see why `inNonZeroCase` is needed consider the following C program:
+ * ```c
+ * char* p = ...;
+ * if(p) {
+ *   use(p);
+ * }
+ * ```
+ * in C++ there would be an int-to-bool conversion on `p`. However, since C
+ * does not have booleans there is no conversion. We want to be able to
+ * conclude that `p` is non-zero in the true branch, so we need to give `k`
+ * some value. However, simply setting `k = 1` would make the rest of the
+ * analysis think that `k == 1` holds inside the branch. So we distinquish
+ * between the above case and
+ * ```c
+ * if(p == 1) {
+ *   use(p)
+ * }
+ * ```
+ * by setting `inNonZeroCase` to `true` in the former case, but not in the
+ * latter.
