Extended Description

I just traced an AWLF failure partway back to this loopfun code:
int  loopfun( int _lacs_2325) {
...
 _uprf_1573, _uprf_1574 = _non_neg_val_S_( _lacs_2325);
  loopfun( _uprf_1573);
There are two distinct problems here:
a. LACS won't propagate AVIS_MINVAL( _lacs_2325) = 0 into the loopfun,
   because the variable is not loop-invariant.
b. DLIR won't lift the guard expression out of the loopfun, for the 
   same reason, I think.
As I write this, I realize that, in this particular case, I may
be able to resolve the issue this enhancement to LACS:
In the calling environment, _lacs_2325 has AVIS_MINVAL = 0;
In the recursive call, _uprf_1573 has AVIS_MINVAL = 0.
In that case, LACS can happily set AVIS_MINVAL( _lacs_2325) = 0,
and the code should get better.
However, I suspect this is not the case in general, so welcome
ideas on better ways to tackle this problem.
