// Calulation of call-to-call priorities.
// For a given pair of calls X and Y, the priority is our guess as to whether
// additional of call Y into a program containing call X is likely to give
// new coverage or not.
// The current algorithm has two components: static and dynamic.
// The static component is based on analysis of argument types. For example,
// if call X and call Y both accept fd[sock], then they are more likely to give
// new coverage together.
// The dynamic component is based on frequency of occurrence of a particular
// pair of syscalls in a single program in corpus. For example, if socket and
// connect frequently occur in programs together, we give higher priority to
// this pair of syscalls.
// Note: the current implementation is very basic, there is no theory behind any
// constants.
