BodyBuilder now optimises away equality test for 1 with 1 bit values, taking the compared value as the result. This reduces the generated LLVM code, though I expect the LLVM optimiser would already do this optimisation. The benefit is that it reduces the generated LPVM code, possibly allowing inlining more often, and maybe benefitting other LPVM optimisations. This pull also includes an optimisation to remove llvm and operations applied n-bit values and the constant 2^n-1. Unfortunately, this triggers a bug in BodyBuilder, so I'm leaving it commented out until I can find and fix the bug.
