I'd think so, but it probably requires a new profiler that counts for how 
often 0 <= A <= B for every "A % B".  Just profiling the range of values 
might be misleading (because A <= N and B <= M and N <= M doesn't imply 
that A <= B often holds).

But it would possibly be an interesting experiment already to do such 
transformation generally (without profiling) and see what it gives on some 
benchmarks.  Just to get a feel what's on the plate.
