- The previous approach would create a std::unique_ptr and store it in
a std::list in VariableValue (Origins)
- The new approach now stores Origins in a std::vector and constructs
VariableOrigin elements in-place on insertion.
- Instead of having two heap-allocations for every added VariableOrigin
instance, this performs only one.
- If multiple origins are added, std::vector's growth strategy may even
prevent a heap-allocation. There's a cost on growing the size of the
vector, because a copy of current elements will be necessary.
- Introduced reserveOrigin method to notify that multiple insertions
will be made, so that we can use std::vector's reserve and do a
single allocation (and copy of previous elements), and then just
initialize the new elements in-place.
