+// TODO List:

+// Future loop memory idioms to recognize:
+//   memcmp, memmove, strlen, etc.
+// Future floating point idioms to recognize in -ffast-math mode:
+//   fpowi
+// Future integer operation idioms to recognize:
+//   ctpop, ctlz, cttz
+//
+// Beware that isel's default lowering for ctpop is highly inefficient for
+// i64 and larger types when i64 is legal and the value has few bits set.  It
+// would be good to enhance isel to emit a loop for ctpop in this case.
+//
+// We should enhance the memset/memcpy recognition to handle multiple stores in
+// the loop.  This would handle things like:
+//   void foo(_Complex float *P)
+//     for (i) { __real__(*P) = 0;  __imag__(*P) = 0; }
+// this is also "Example 2" from http://blog.regehr.org/archives/320
