Dang it. Beaten to the punch. I was just going to ask for a bug report that we apparently generate suboptimal code for that. :)

Taking my trolling hat back off, I actually am interested in whether it’s reasonable for the compiler to do significantly better here (and on other similar kinds of code). Alex, can you elaborate a bit?
