I'm not sure we're talking about the same thing. After reading the
responses from Richard and Paul - do you still think your loop
normalization solves this problem?

I could rewrite the normalization pass if you want, it was done right
before major SSA changes, and i never got around to rewriting it.
My only concern is whether it will make the evolutions too complex to
be "simple" evolutions.
