But TYPE_OVERFLOW_UNDEFINED is not a good condition here since the
conversion is the problematic one and
conversions have implementation defined behavior.  Now, the above does
not match because it wasn't designed to,
and for non-constant '42' it would have needed a (convert ...) around
the first @0 as well (matching of constants is
by value, not by value + type).

That said, your

+/* X - (X - Y) --> Y */
+(simplify
+ (minus (convert1? @0) (convert2? (minus @@0 @1)))
+ (if ((INTEGRAL_TYPE_P (type) || VECTOR_INTEGER_TYPE_P (type)) &&
TYPE_OVERFLOW_UNDEFINED(type))
+  (convert @1)))

would match (int)x - (int)(x - y) where you assert the outer subtract
has undefined behavior
on overflow but the inner subtract could wrap and the (int) conversion
can be truncating
or widening.  Is that really always a valid transform then?
