+## Common Subexpression Eliminator
+
+This step replaces a subexpression by the value of a pre-existing variable
+that currently has the same value (only if the value is movable), based
+on a syntactic comparison.
+
+This can be used to compute a local value numbering, especially if the
+expression splitter is used before.
+
+The expression simplifier will be able to perform better replacements
+if the common subexpression eliminator was run right before it.
