Unfortunately that's not an option. At the moment I'm restricting
myself to the use of scalar code only, in order to be able to
vectorize the code easily later (e.g., float4 as it is now will then
become an array of four vectors for parallel processing of n (probably
4, SSE) pixels). But thanks for coming up with this idea!

Chris, I'll take a look at the AliasAnalysis functionality. Depending
on how much effort it is to implement a solution I might follow this
approach. If not, there's still Kenneth's new code generator to look
forward to. :)

Thanks,
Stephan
