Which would tend to argue that we should forward propagate the constant
to the uses of _1.  That should expose that the RHS of the assignment to
n_2 is a constant as well.

It would, but it's probably more heavyweight than we need.  We just need
to forward propagate the discovered constant to the use points and pick
up any secondary opportunities that arise.
