It isn't the best idea to do this sort of optimizations 
(entirely) in the front-end, because you really want to be able 
to aggressively optimize away such redundant operations after 
inlining at what previously were function boundaries.

But then again, if you use AST-based inlining like DMD does, it 
might just work… ;)
