Thanks, Abe. A couple comments below...

As before, I'm still confused here. This still returns false, i.e. bails out of
if-conversion, if the statement could trap. Doesn't the scratchpad let us handle
that? Or do we just not care because it won't be vectorizable anyway???

Nit: as before - line no longer needs wrapping (a few other cases too)

Nit: as before - thanks for fixing the example here, but...

...I think you mean to remove this last too.

That is quite complex. Where can I find info on what the different flag values 
mean? (I had thought they were booleans, clearly I'm wrong, but a quick scan 
through invoke.texi doesn't seem to help; both your testcases and your updates 
to invoke.texi say e.g. -ftree-loop-if-convert-stores not 
-ftree-loop-if-convert-stores=<value>)
