In fact, they are there (I have yet to figure out who's adding them). :-)

What I'm not sure (now that I see the notes) is whether alias analysis
is making the best use of them (i.e. canon_rtx isn't always used).  I
made some "play" changes and got better results, however I need to poke
around some more regarding this and the GOTOFF alias analysis issues.
