Review comment:
       I don't think it's a good idea to rewrite `i*9 + j*2 + k` into such a 
normal form `(i*9 + (j*2 + k - 1) + 1)`.
   The reason is that `j*2 + k - 1` has extent 8, it's weird that the scale of 
i is 9. Actually `i*9 + j*2 + k` with predicate `1 <= j*2 + k < 9` doesn't 
correspond to an iter, since the value of it is not continuous. Its value is 
`[1, 8] \union [10, 17] \union [19, 26], ...`.
   So it looks to me that we shouldn't allow lower bound constraints on 
intermediate iters. We can only bound the final iter. In the above case, `i*9 + 
j*2 + k >= 1` is legal. while `j*2 + k >= 1` is illegal. We should ban and fail 
on such predicates.
   This means what you need to do is to
   1. Parse the predicate, and divide the predicates into 2 categories: lower 
bound constraints and upper bound constraints.
   2. Detect iter affine mapping with the input expressions and upper bound 
constraints.
   3. Check those lower bound constraints are legal, which means they can only 
bound the final iter detected from input expressions. It's illegal to bound the 
intermediate iters.
