Multiple front ends want the same thing.  This is why it would be better 
to introduce the codes in GENERIC and have the language-independent 
gimplifier contain the code to lower them, even if they don't become part 
of GIMPLE.

This is not a solution for trapping multiplication in the widest supported 
type.  I'm sure you can represent that with e.g. some checks for whether 
values are positive or negative and then dividing the largest / smallest 
values of the type by one of the arguments, but you might not want to lose 
symmetry like that until after constant propagation has had a chance to 
make one of the arguments constant (since if that happens you get a range 
check on the other argument).
