Within the last couple years.  It's primarily for testing purposes so
that we can take RTL, feed it back into a pass and then look at the
results.  There's some tests in the testsuite you can poke at to see how
it works -- they're probably also a good starting point for a test that
we can properly reconstruct RTL with elided elements.

I don't think it goes in strictly unmodified, but ISTM we need to be
able to handle this case.

Thanks,
