Ollie, IIRC, you posted an example where, together with your front-end
lowering patch (i.e., with the strategy that Daniel is advocating), we
don't do some optimization that we could in theory do.  Have you worked
out why not?  Perhaps that would shed some light on whether or not it's
tractable to recover this information from our current IR.

Thanks,
