FWIW compiler almost certainly won't figure this out as it has nothing to go on
- history based branch prediction in processors will though!  We don't want to
be hinting direction to the compiler for a case like this as that will make
it very painful if we get it wrong.  Anyhow Andy's comment is valid even if
I disagree with the reason.
