I believe the idea was to emit extra DWARF for that copy-propagation, so as to treat the destination as a location-list-level alias of the source. The idea was not to inhibit the copy, just to "document it", if that is sensible & feasible. > Plus this issue is not a regression at all because the RTL level does the > same.
