Chris Lattner e70da20f9a implement a readme entry, compiling the code into:
_foo:
	movl	$12, %eax
	andl	4(%esp), %eax
	movl	_array(%eax), %eax
	ret

instead of:

_foo:
	movl	4(%esp), %eax
	shrl	$2, %eax
	andl	$3, %eax
	movl	_array(,%eax,4), %eax
	ret

As it turns out, this triggers all the time, in a wide variety of
situations, for example, I see diffs like this in various programs:

-       movl    8(%eax), %eax
-       shll    $2, %eax
-       andl    $1020, %eax
-       movl    (%esi,%eax), %eax
+       movzbl  8(%eax), %eax
+       movl    (%esi,%eax,4), %eax


-       shll    $2, %edx
-       andl    $1020, %edx
-       movl    (%edi,%edx), %edx
+       andl    $255, %edx
+       movl    (%edi,%edx,4), %edx

Unfortunately, I also see stuff like this, which can be fixed in the
X86 backend:

-       andl    $85, %ebx
-       addl    _bit_count(,%ebx,4), %ebp
+       shll    $2, %ebx
+       andl    $340, %ebx
+       addl    _bit_count(%ebx), %ebp
