There's gazillion places where we could catch things "earlier" but I think
we have to be careful where we start placing stuff and if we do it do it
consistently.  MIN/MAX doesn't have much coverage so you won't see
latent issues (well, one just popped up in the testsuite for MIN/MAX...).

Note that fold_* really wants matching TYPE_MAIN_VARIANT but we
absolutely know we have entries from GIMPLE where that requirement
is not met!  So fold_* isn't a good place to do this kind of checks.
