+1 to what Mark says here. If the day comes when the peepholer can be ripped out in favour of AST based optimisation, then yay. In the meantime, having it work as consistently as possible in picking up and optimising literal expressions makes for potentially valuable micro-optimisations that people don't have to worry about doing by hand.
