Summary
This commit implements a feature for the analyzer to recognise the commonly used proxy-slot pattern. It does this by a limited form of constant folding for values that are likely to be hashes of encoded strings.
This commit also improves the analyzer by causing it to constant fold lengths in memory reads, thereby giving itself more accurate information about the values actually being passed around in the program.
