As far as I know nobody is working on it. I think it would be a
useful addition.

Type-based optimizations like this are one thing I hope to get out of
the `ast' (tree-based optimization) work being done. Another
optimization in this category is removing redundant cast checks. I've
looked at the ast code a little, but I haven't done any hacking on it
yet :-(
