/// This function de-facto defines a set of transformations that we consider

/// an input should provide a safe value (or an object that provides safe
/// values).
///
/// For more context see Static Analyzer checkers documentation - specifically
/// webkit.UncountedCallArgsChecker checker. Allowed list of transformations:
/// - constructors of ref-counted types (including factory methods)
/// - getters of ref-counted types
/// - member overloaded operators
/// - casts
/// - unary operators like ``&`` or ``*``
///
/// If passed expression is of type uncounted pointer/reference we try to find
/// the "origin" of the pointer value.
/// Origin can be for example a local variable, nullptr, constant or
/// this-pointer.
///
/// Certain subexpression nodes represent transformations that don't affect
/// where the memory address originates from. We try to traverse such
/// subexpressions to get to the relevant child nodes. Whenever we encounter a
/// subexpression that either can't be ignored, we don't model its semantics or
/// that has multiple children we stop.
///
/// \p E is an expression of uncounted pointer/reference type.
/// If \p StopAtFirstRefCountedObj is true and we encounter a subexpression that
/// represents ref-counted object during the traversal we return relevant
/// sub-expression and true.
///
/// \returns subexpression that we traversed to and if \p
/// StopAtFirstRefCountedObj is true we also return whether we stopped early.
