Partial Peeling finds that we need to do the cut between `580 IfTrue` and `581 If`. This means, that the Initialized Assertion Predicate `569 RangeCheck` with its `535 OpaqueInitializedAssertionPredicate` is in the peel set and the second Initialized Assertion Predicate `504 RangeCheck` with its `503 OpaqueInitializedAssertionPredicate` is in the not peel set. As a result of that, we are introducing a `Phi` node between an `OpaqueInitializedAssertionPredicate` and a `Bool` node:
