The purpose of `PhaseCFG::raise_above_anti_dependences` is twofold: raise the load's LCA so that the load is scheduled before anti-dependent stores, and if necessary add anti-dependence edges between the load and certain anti-dependent stores (to ensure we later "raise" the load before anti-dependent stores in LCM). The name `PhaseCFG::insert_anti_dependences` suggests that we only add anti-dependence edges. The name `PhaseCFG::raise_above_anti_dependences`, therefore, seems more appropriate.
