This arose from a discussion in bug#46670, and the relevant comment
with a fix (which unfortunately disables some correct optimizations in
addition to the incorrect ones) is at
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-emacs/2021-02/msg01630.html.

It's important we fix this correctly, but I'm predicting we won't.

Nice reproducer for a nice bug.

This week-end I'm mostly off, will come back on this very quickly.

Thanks for reporting.

Here what was going on:

`=' was treated homogeneously with other equality operators and in the
'then' branch of:

(if (= x 0.0)
    then
  else)

we were assuming x being 0.0.

Indeed that's not correct as `=' has a more complex semantic allowing
mixed integer float comparisons; ex (= 0 0.0) is satisfied.

5bc08559e8 allow now fwprop to propagate `=' semantic hopefully
correctly, the patch adds also a bunch of tests to check for this.

Closing as the reproducer is passing here.

Thanks for reporting

So you really want me to keep coming up with obvious variants of this
bug and fix them one by one, until there are no obvious variants of it
left and we're still left with a bug, just a less obvious one?

I think that's noisy, inefficient, and it will still leave us with
bugs in our code. I'm opening a bug for the real issue.
