+unsigned foo(unsigned long x) {

+we should dag combine the left+right shift together.  We currently get:

+_foo:
+        movl    4(%esp), %eax
+        shrl    $2, %eax
+        andl    $3, %eax
+        movl    _array(,%eax,4), %eax
+        ret

+similar on ppc:

+_foo:
+        lis r2, ha16(_array)
+        srwi r3, r3, 2
+        la r2, lo16(_array)(r2)
+        rlwinm r3, r3, 2, 28, 29
+        lwzx r3, r2, r3
+        blr

+_foo:
+        mov r3, #3
+        and r3, r3, r0, lsr #2
