Auch; that patch is actually a very bad idea.  Pretending that complex
addressing modes are cheaper, when they are not, is just confusing.  If there
are optimizers that indeed want to prefer complex addressing modes (like cse and
combine, I suppose), they should reflect that in the cost function they are
using, rather than forcing this missconception to every other optimizer.
