The test uses random constants. But we forgot to exclude special values such as `zero`, otherwise the operations can be folded (idealized) and the IR tests fail. For example `x + 0.42` would not be folded, but `x + 0` would be folded to `x`.
Solution: restrict the range we sample from. Used to be `[0, 1)`, now I just do `[0.1, 0.9)`.
