/// loading an integer and converting that immediately to a pointer, we should

/// However, this routine must never change the width of a load or the number of
/// loads as that would introduce a semantic change. This combine is expected to
/// be a semantic no-op which just allows loads to more closely model the types
/// of their consuming operations.
///
/// Currently, we also refuse to change the precise type used for an atomic load
/// or a volatile load. This is debatable, and might be reasonable to change
/// later. However, it is risky in case some backend or other part of LLVM is
/// relying on the exact type loaded to select appropriate atomic operations.
