Data flow analysis can figure that example out. If it can't for a more complex
one, you can do:
assert(x >= 0 && x <= 255);
assert(y >= 0 && y <= 255);
The optimizer can certainly use asserts to provide semantic information (even
though the dmd one doesn't at the moment).
Again, I know you like reading about new languages and language features. I
think you'd enjoy that even more supplemented with a book on how compilers work
internally, in particular, how data flow analysis works and what it can do.
