Indeed.  :-)

One thing we've all laearned about benchmarks: for a test to be in any
way meaningful it has to actually *do* something.

For what it's worth, I was quite suprised that gcj didn't spot the
same opportunity.  Maybe this is part of the value range propagation
optimizations that aren't yet in core gcc.
