+/// techniques, except it uses special ObjC-specific reasoning about pointer
+/// relationships.
+///
+/// In this context ``Provenance'' is defined as the history of an object's
+/// ownership. Thus ``Provenance Analysis'' is defined by using the notion of
+/// an ``independent provenance source'' of a pointer to determine whether or
+/// not two pointers have the same provenance source and thus could
+/// potentially be related.
