    Fix space leaks in simplifier (#13426)
    
    The Join points commit (8d5cf8bf) introduced a space leak
    somewhere in the simplifier. The extra strictness added in this commit
    fixes the leak. Unfortunately I don't really understand the details.
    
    Unfortunately, the extra strictness appears to result in more overall
    allocations in some cases, even while the peak heap size decreases in others.
