IIRC only equality conditions are propagated and gt, lt, between aren't.
I seem to remember that the argument given was that the cost of
checking for the ability to propagate was too high for the frequency
when it ocurred.

Of course, what was true for code and machines of 5 years ago might not
be so today.
