>> At an `instanceof`, a node of type `bottom[int:>=0]` is checked to be of type `cc$Word` and on the success a `CheckCastPP` is inserted to change the node type. That `CheckCastPP` constant folds to `top` but the type check doesn't fold. The reason is that the type check loads the klass from the node with a `LoadNKlass` and the type of that node is `java/lang/Object`  when it should be `bottom[int:>=0]` but logic in `LoadNKlass::Value()` gets in the way.
