/// \brief A MutexID object uniquely identifies a particular mutex, and
/// is built from an Expr* (i.e. calling a lock function).
///
/// Thread-safety analysis works by comparing lock expressions.  Within the
/// body of a function, an expression such as "x->foo->bar.mu" will resolve to
/// a particular mutex object at run-time.  Subsequent occurrences of the same
/// expression (where "same" means syntactic equality) will refer to the same
/// run-time object if three conditions hold:
/// (1) Local variables in the expression, such as "x" have not changed.
/// (2) Values on the heap that affect the expression have not changed.
/// (3) The expression involves only pure function calls.
///
/// The current implementation assumes, but does not verify, that multiple uses
/// of the same lock expression satisfies these criteria.
///
/// Clang introduces an additional wrinkle, which is that it is difficult to
/// derive canonical expressions, or compare expressions directly for equality.
/// Thus, we identify a mutex not by an Expr, but by the set of named
/// declarations that are referenced by the Expr.  In other words,
/// x->foo->bar.mu will be a four element vector with the Decls for
/// mu, bar, and foo, and x.  The vector will uniquely identify the expression
/// for all practical purposes.
///
/// Note we will need to perform substitution on "this" and function parameter
/// names when constructing a lock expression.
///
/// For example:
/// class C { Mutex Mu;  void lock() EXCLUSIVE_LOCK_FUNCTION(this->Mu); };
/// void myFunc(C *X) { ... X->lock() ... }
/// The original expression for the mutex acquired by myFunc is "this->Mu", but
/// "X" is substituted for "this" so we get X->Mu();
///
/// For another example:
/// foo(MyList *L) EXCLUSIVE_LOCKS_REQUIRED(L->Mu) { ... }
/// MyList *MyL;
/// foo(MyL);  // requires lock MyL->Mu to be held
