On a somewhat related subject:

I remember a while ago I wrote a patch to the Java front end that
marked MEMs as either potentially trapping or not, and as far as I
could tell this information was preserved throughout all optimization
stages.  This was pretty easy to do, and eliminated about of half the
instructions from being treated as potentially trapping.
