Being able to optimize at the tree level. I disbelieve we'll
be able to do that properly given the less than precise
semantics of SAVE_EXPR.
The *only* thing that is good for is holding a temporary during
conversion of *one* expression into rtl. In any other context
we have to play distinctly ugly games.
