Of course, if we think this *should* work in principle (i.e., that it makes sense for this to be meaningful RTL), and we don't know that it doesn't work, it's reasonable to put this into GCC, changing the documentation to specify the semantics of this form of RTL, and then fixing any bugs as they occur.
