Comment (by bgamari):

 Indeed it's hard to say much without knowing with certainty that this is
 the code that CBE looks at. That being said, I believe that the CBE
 implementation should be able to deal with `CmmAssign`s of the form `x=x`
 since it compares the RHSs up to alpha equivalence. It would of course be
 good to check this, however.
