Ah.  Well in that case, I guess we could come up with something.
I guess I agree that when we do constant folding we should wind
up with something that matches what the target instruction would do.

I have no idea what you have in mind wrt ffs.  Since (x == 0) can
be computed in parallel with ctz(x), I'm not sure why (ctz >> 5)
is interesting at all.
