So rather than dealing with `LHS + LHSOffset == RHS + RHSOffset`, we can instead deal with `LHS + Offset == RHS`, where `Offset = LHSOffset - RHSOffset`. We should be able to fold that if and only if `Offset > -MinSize(RHS)` and `Offset < MinSize(LHS)`.

It took some work to convince myself, but I think that's right.
