+/*
+ * https://github.com/davidgiven/ack/issues/203 was a bug in the
+ * strength reduction (SR) phase of ego.  To cause the bug:
+ *
+ *  1. SR must run; it runs at `ack -O3` and higher.
+ *
+ *  2. SR must find a loop with an induction variable, and SR must
+ *     find at least 2 different expressions using the variable, like
+ *     i << 1, (i + 1) << 1, or 3 * i, 5 * i.
+ *
+ *  3. There is no basic block to act as a loop header, so SR must
+ *     create the block.  One way is to put if (one) { ... } around
+ *     the loop, so the loop is just after a conditional branch.
+ */
+
+/*
+ * Global variables prevent optimizations:
+ * if (one) { ... } caused the bug, if (1) { ... } didn't.
