I had too much fun funking around with hard to track down alias problems
the last time i spent a month trying to improve and fix the RTL version.
It's rather easy to fix what's there now, but it doesn't do anything
(really. It shows 0% difference on benchmarks), except for whatever
special case it's currently designed to handle.
So i'm out.
Though, on the upside, SSAPRE will be able to move them soon enough,
which, except on x86, will likely give you most of the benefit (on x86,
of course, store motion afters spilling would likely be helpful)
I'm concentrating on the strength reduction stuff and cleaning up the
points-to analysis needed first, however.
