I see. I tought we canonized COND_EXPRs to have GOTOs on both sides
only for CFG construction, but we do that when not optimizing too.
Not sure what creates the new nodes, perhaps we do during stmt removal.
I can look into it later. Still it is not quite big.

In optimizing compilation I would expect Zdenek's patch to still save
memory - for instance when ssapre does critical edge splitting it
introduces quite many new jumps. With Zdenek's patch this comes for
free.
Can we replace the nodes in place?
