Research direction
Start by locating the CSE implementation and its tests, then inspect how differences in the sv.namehint attribute prevent common subexpression elimination. Determine which attributes are safe to ignore and update the relevant tests; done means eligible values with sv.namehint can be CSE'd without changing other attribute behavior.
