> When working on https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/27889, I was irritated by the lack of documentation and suboptimal naming.
>
> Here, I'm doing the following:
> - Add more documentation, and improve it in other cases.
> - Rename "lazy" methods: "lazy" could indicate that we delay it somehow until later, but it is unclear what is delayed.
> - `lazy_replace` -> `replace_ctrl_node_and_forward_ctrl_and_idom`
> - `lazy_update` -> `install_lazy_ctrl_and_idom_forwarding`
> - Made some methods private, and added some additional asserts.
>
> I'd be more than happy for even better names, and suggestions how to improve the documentation further :)
