Well, currently the translation of SAME_TYPE_AS is done by gfc_conv_same_type_as (trans-intrinsic.c), for both TYPE- and CLASS-valued arguments. Note: If both arguments are TYPE-valued, the result will be a compile-time constant, otherwise it has to be evaluated at runtime, according to the _hash values in the vtabs. In which situations would we actually gain something by treating the TYPE-TYPE case in simplify.c?
