Since we have to accept bitcasts and geps of globals as alias operands,
is there any point in allowing the result type to be different to the
operand type?  If we decide that it is better to allow them to differ,
I reckon we should add a small optimization somewhere that removes any
bitcasts/geps on alias operands.

Ciao, Duncan.
