Awesome! We still need something similar now to deal with final fields/enums right?

Yeah we need to handle enums in the simplification process. |

Description
This PR fixes a problem in the simplification where value propagation could be skipped for expressions like
x == 1 && x == 2. The resolver treated any equality involvingxand a literal as the definition ofx, even when only one of those equalities was the actual definition being propagated.Now the resolver tracks the value that defined the substitution and uses it to distinguish the defining equality from later usages. For a direct contradiction like
x == 1 && x == 2, either value can be picked for propagation: both expose the contradiction and fold tofalse.Example
