I think it's worth pushing separately, since it has a positive impact
on existing cases, as shown by the regression test plan change.
Also, if you compare that test case to the one immediately following
it, it's downright weird that we are presently smarter about
optimizing the more complicated case. (I've not dug into exactly
why that is; maybe worth running it to ground?)
