I have seen other patches in this style use the compiler to do the
check, if the patch doesn't change the compiled output then it is
obviously OK.

Some careful use of macros might make that possible, but it is a fair
amount of work.

However, that may be the only way to get something this invasive
applied, especially since we've already seen mistakes in the manual
transforms :|
