It is, indeed, a very hard problem. It's solvable if you disallow
several classes of optimization (basically ones that involve code
motion) that make things less than optimal. You can also scatter a
lot of tests for invalidations and have the notification system set
the flags, though there are still code motion problems there. (Loops
are particularly troublesome)
