It's worth noting that the LoopIdiomRecognition pass also uses std::distance as a way to filter out loops.

For what it's worth, I do have downstream code that increases the number of idioms we recognise. This led to me finding a number of bugs, so the exercise was very useful! However, I'd prefer to land this patch first and build upon this incrementally. I can create a patch later on that adds these extra idioms once I've done sufficient testing. I think the idioms in this patch have the biggest impact in terms of performance.

The extra idioms involve: 1) supporting 64-bit induction variable types, 2) permitting add increments without nuw and nsw flags, 3) supporting loops that increment the counter after loading the values (as opposed to currently incrementing before loading).
