If you increase the likely hood that the compiler will just work in
the face of changing code, and random maintenance and decrease the
maintenance code, and make the code easier to read and understand,
then you gained more, than just renaming it, you've improved it.
Of course, but I'm not convinced this will happen.
It is reasonable to find a way to `improve' SAVE_EXPR. Check out
UNSAVE_EXPR, and the `grossness' of it. It is truely worth
eliminating by design. Unfortunately to get rid of it, you need to
revamp SAVE_EXPR.
But those things are there because there's a semantic need for that
processing. If you eliminate SAVE_EXPR, you have to replace it with
something that's similarly 'gross'.
