I'm going to go out on a limb and reject this ticket. IMCC is on the way
out, and PIRC will replace it. We don't know what the optimization
behavior of PIRC will be, but I can't imagine that it's going to have
the same issues as IMCC's optimizer has. Also, I can't imagine that we
are going to get IMCC's optimizer straightened out before the 1.0
release, if we ever get it fixed at all before it's replaced (unlikely).

Rejecting this ticket.
