Most are not correctness bugs, but performance bugs.  Later passes 
(particular CGP and later) do not do well when presented arbitrary 
non-canonical IR.  They won't crash, but they may not be as effective as 
expected and may miss obvious performance wins.  When you change what 
canonical is, you sometimes miss the existing sweat spot and have to 
adjust the code to handle the new canonical form.

My suggestion would be to implement your change, run a reasonable set of 
performance tests, fix any problems, and iterate.  Just don't be 
surprised if what seems like a simple patch snowballs into a series of 
mostly minor patches.  I'm not trying to warn you off or scare you; I 
just want to make sure you have reasonable expectations going in.
