+1 to what Mark says here.

If the day comes when the peepholer can be ripped out in favour of AST
based optimisation, then yay. In the meantime, having it work as
consistently as possible in picking up and optimising literal
expressions makes for potentially valuable micro-optimisations that
people don't have to worry about doing by hand.

Cheers,
Nick.
