Now I see what you're saying. I'm not sure I agree, but I see your
point.

That makes sense. But, it's beyond the scope of what I'm up to, which
is all at the tree level. If the debugging back-ends learn to
represent this, then it will be straightforward to have the tree->rtl
stuff indicate this to the back-ends.
