I should clarify.  I understand what live range splitting is.  What I'm asking
here is exacly what this particular implementation targets: only live ranges
across loops?  Other stuff?  You mentioned some time ago that the splitting
implementation would be simplistic.  I'm trying to get a handle on how
simplistic it is.  Maybe a better question is, what's _not_ handled/split?
