[LLVMdev] Missed constant replacement opportunity with llvm.assume?

Opened a bug with a minimum reproducing example:

https://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=23055

It seems to me the issue is that InstCombiner successfully simplifies
return values when they can be proven constant, but misses the same
optimization opportunity for store values.

v/r,
Josh
