[issue42899] Is it legal to eliminate tests of a value, when that test has no effect on control flow?

[Ethan Furman]

Mark, it looks like the consensus is your proposal:

"The implementation is allowed to skip any boolean test of a value, when it has *no* effect on the flow of the program and *at least one test* has already been performed on that value."

Has the implementation been updated to reflect this?  The beta freeze will be here soon.
