I think that makes sense when you're testing an analysis (e.g. does AA think these two pointers may alias or not?).  Here the test is for an //API// that analyses and transformations uses, so to me it is more understandable to test it this way (since you're directly testing what you changed).

However, we could be better about encoding IR in a way that they're easily auto-upgraded, since IMO that's one of the drawbacks of writing unittests/.
