That would be certainly safest and the UNCHANGING would really mean
unchanging. But I hope we could at least extend it to objects which are
*never* stored into in current function (see if the object is initialized
in the function currently expanded into RTL, if not, use RTX_UNCHANGING_P
for it as well, otherwise perhaps use some other bit or alias set).
