/**
 * Various utility classes that aim to make the development of TruffleLanguage guest languages
 * easier.
 *
 * <p>
 * We try to capture common language patterns in this package. Here is an overview of patterns that
 * we have captured so far:
 * <ul>
 * <li>{@link com.oracle.truffle.api.utilities.AssumedValue} speculates on global values to remain
 * unchanged.</li>
 * <li>{@link com.oracle.truffle.api.utilities.CyclicAssumption} speculates on assumptions that
 * might invalidate more often but are assumed to stabilize over time.</li>
 * <li>{@link com.oracle.truffle.api.utilities.NeverValidAssumption} utility for assumptions that
 * are always invalidated</li>
 * <li>{@link com.oracle.truffle.api.utilities.UnionAssumption} utility for the union of two
 * assumptions</li>
 * </ul>
 * </p>
 * 
 * @since 0.8 or older
