implicit numbered label, using a next value from the same counter as used
for unnamed temporaries (:ref:`see above<identifiers>`). For example, if a
function entry block does not have explicit label, it will be assigned
label "%0", then first unnamed temporary in that block will be "%1", etc.
The first basic block in a function is special in two ways: it is
immediately executed on entrance to the function, and it is not allowed
