Not a terribly bad idea. It has the added benefit of exposing
some additional safe stuff to the optimizers.

I suspect we would.
I *think* we only avoid propagation into asms when doing so would
replace a hard register in the asm.
In this case we'd be replacing a temporary in the asm with a hard
register.
