I expected that if both operands of the cast appear to be pointers, it is
always OP_PTRCAST case, which is not true.

So this version exchanges inequality test for "or".  Beside being
shorter, it covers such previously missed cases.

Based on asserts I experimented with, OP_PTRCASTs are always captured
by the condition implicitly (beside OP_CASTs with pointer-like operands).
