The differences between High GIMPLE and Low GIMPLE are the
following:

1- Lexical scopes are removed (i.e., GIMPLE_BIND disappears).

2- GIMPLE_TRY and GIMPLE_CATCH are converted to abnormal control
   flow and exception regions are built as an on-the-side region
   hierarchy (See tree-eh.cc:lower_eh_constructs).

3- Multiple identical return statements are grouped into a single
   return and gotos to the unique return site.   
Match a return statement with a label.  During lowering, we identify
identical return statements and replace duplicates with a jump to
the corresponding label.
