This is not clearly a win, in fact it can completely lose an ASSERT_EXPR
because there is no way to add its effect back as an equivalence.  The
current choice of always using the "left" keeps the ASSERT_EXPR range
and is able to record the other range via an equivalence.

My thought on this was that we need to separate "ranges" and associated
SSA names so we can introduce new ranges w/o the need for an SSA name
(and thus we can create an equivalence to the ASSERT_EXPR range).
IIRC I started on this at some point but never finished it ...
