It's a valid optimization.  I can't say it's really important, but if
the only objection is to param_defaults, I'm getting rid of it.

It should.  We'd have to duplicate logic of parameters, including static
chain and whatnot.  I figured this would make it more resilient to
changes elsewhere.

I'm trying to remove the spaghetting now.

Why not?  (the referenced code is gone from my local tree, BTW)

If they are param values, we want to have them available; if they
aren't, whatever we coalesce with is good.

Yeah.  We want to tell what we'd get if all coalesce possibilities are
taken, so that we can assign the same basevar to all partitions so that
we detect conflicts.

'fraid I didn't run any statistics whatsoever.  I didn't think it was
important, since it's pretty much just doing copyrename during coalesce.
Truth be told, this has since relaxed some of the constraints from
copyrename, and I'm going to relax some more in the next iteration, so I
guess some statistics wouldn't be a bad idea.  Is there any specific
testcase you're interested in, or something like a GCC bootstrap or
somesuch?
