Comment (by nomeata):

 `cmmImplementSwitchPlans` is run after `elimCommonBlocks` in order to
 avoid making unnecessary decisions in the branching code if the blocks
 happen to be the same ones any ways.

 I was not aware that `cmmImplementSwitchPlans` itself could make new
 blocks that are identical. In your examples, what happend to the
 assignments ` _sfh6::I64 = I64[_sfh3::P64 + 7];`?
