I fear a bit that *all* cases are on the clearly nonsense side of
things.  I don't particularly think there is code out there that would
see any speed-ups using these cases.  As Amaury pointed out this
introduces delicate correctness issues, and for maybe nothing... :-/
I can be convinced of the countrary though.


A bientôt,

Armin.
