There are certainly such issues in the back-ends (and even ??? comments about
it) so sensible canonicalization is desirable.
Right. The choice between canonicalization and code bloat to support
multiple RTL forms computing the same value is a never-ending problem.
Where it's clearly made sense we have canonicalized, where it doesn't,
we haven't. There's a huge no-mans land in the middle.
