Why can't CSE recognize const_int's in HIGH LO_SUM pair?

I was planning on trying to implement this later this week.  At the moment,
I am pounding nails helping with a new house for my sister.

It is clear that either the above, or just

(set (reg A) (const_int)) 

is better than the current high/lo_sum.  However, I don't see a consensis
from the discussion as to which approach is better.
