True, but the new special mode could require the first to be a load or 
store and the second a store taking place after the first arg (so we
have either WAW or WAR).

Yeah, that works (does that catch all stores?  or at least all stores
that are simple enough for cselib to handle?).

The issue here is that SET_SRC (set) is usually a REG, but we need
the corresponding earlier MEM SET_DEST is requal to which the
REG was derived from to make the decision on whether the store
is redundant from a TBAA perspective as well.
