I am. There are also other alternatives, mostly involving
encapsulating all the block move/compare/whatever in big
unspecs until we get past the early optimization passes.
The only alternative is to give up on SSA on RTL entirely,
and instead do it on a higher-level IL. Which might not
be a bad idea anyway...
