The tree optimizers can't give you optimizations that have to do with
instruction selection, since they are mostly agnostic of your target
instruction set.  The tree optimizers can do a good job to do optimizations
on the abstract computations, but the rtl optimizers like combine are
important to map these computations efficiently on your target
instruction set.
