To be clear, there's no code quality or performance problem unless
there's a bug in the change I propose. What it does as far I understand
is simply extend the current behavior for LoadN to LoadN at offset
0. Now if I'm wrong it could introduce a code quality/performance
regression that could affect all LoadN, not only those at offset 0.
