"self.x - self.y" and "1/0" are not removed since they have side effects.

Right now, "(1, 2, 3)" is not removed. But later we may remove it,
since it has no side effect, it's a constant statement.

Note: We are talking about statements. 1 is not removed in "lambda: 1"
which is a valid expression ;-)
