Yes it can (if nothing else then by converting it to * 1/x)

The only exception is with -Os, but if you want performance
you should not be using that anyways.

You could do that manually, but it's easiest to just keep
the code paths separate and let the compiler worry about it.

Hmm, it's not a sanity check?
