Attached file benchmark
In the attached benchmark, we could get a significant speedup from removing the negative zero check on the multiplication. We should be able to do this in MIR by seeing that (a * a) will never be negative.
Attached patch First attempt. (obsolete) — Splinter Review
Speedup is 1.12x, but I need some feedback on the patch's specifics:

1) I think isCongruent is a more specific (and costly) test that we want for this, but I could be quite wrong.

2) Is there a way to implement this check without having to copy the body of MBinaryArithInstruction::foldsTo?

3) Should I add a setter for canBeNegativeZero_?

Attached patch v2 (obsolete) — Splinter Review
Shorter patch using congruentTo and calling out to super (requires us to re-acquire lhs/rhs).  It seems to be epsilon slower than v1 in the benchmark, but it's well within the error bars.
