Could it be applyable to other operations as well? So, if I wrote:
 c = not(a < b)
the compiler and/or peephole optimizer can generate bytecodes instructions which, instead, execute the following operation:
 c = a >= b

Those two expressions are equivalent for integers, but not necessarily equivalent for objects that define their own comparison operator.
