My loop patches recognize a number of cases where autoincrement considerations
require a different pattern of giv combination.
However, we are not supposed to generate autoincrement before flow. The
point of doin this in regmove is that we alerady got constraint information
there - using autoincrement instead of three-address-adds is much more useful
when you don't actually have a three-address add to start with.
