> This patch changes the order in which we clone and initialize Assertion Predicates from "reverse-order" to "in-order".
> 
> #### Current State: Mostly "reverse-order" for Assertion Predicates
> We are currently cloning and initializing Assertion Predicates in reverse-order out of convenience and simplicity for most of the loop splitting optimizations - except for Loop Unswitching (see next section). This means that we do the following:

>                                      old target loop entry
>                                                |
>          x                         Cloned Template Assertion

> Template Assertion                             |
>     Predicate 1                       Initialized Assertion
>          |               ==>               Predicate 2
