I'd argue against that:
  - a lot of compiler bugs for passes like this show up only for unusual
    CFGs that you don't really get with normal input code.
  - separate shrink wrapping explicitly tries to modify infrequent
    paths, which may not even get exercised.

Also, unless I've missed it you've not provided any numbers about how 
often this triggers, let's say on a cc1 build.

For these reasons I thought having self-tests would be a good idea, but 
I was informed it's a waste of time, so I guess not.
