In some cases, yes.  But in this instance, I don't think so.

After we've verified condition->toBoolean() the only other time semantic
analysis is done on the condition is for optimizations.  And I seriously doubt
that we are likely going to get any meaningful constant literal optimized out
from any of these types.
