Description Filip Pizlo 2012-02-05 23:20:04 PST 
If we have a and b both predicted number, then the following sequence:

1: ValueToNumber(a)
2: ValueToNumber(b)
3: ArithSub(@1, @2)

should be turned into:

1: ValueToNumberPure(a)  (skipped)
2: ValueToNumberPure(b)  (skipped)
3: ArithSub(a, b)

and hence we skip two moves and save a register.
