A general "NameNode dependency walk" of the tree could give us *loads* of 
information, also for better type inference. Knowing that a Python variable 
is definitely not None from a given point on, or that it has a specific 
type at one point and a different type at another would be really cool.

Basically, we could build a dependency tree for each NameNode (at its 
specific point in the tree, not just through its symtab Entry) that 
references its assignment RHSs, but including a representation of relevant 
branches in the code.

But I also agree that loops are evil. :-/
