Let runtime crash on zero div, don't fold it.
Remarks from Quentin: It is an important decision to use Bot and not Top as the result of 'x / 0'. By using Bot, we refuse to give a warrant to the compiler that would allow meaningless subsequent decisions. An example follows. Clang, on my computer, will build a program which prints "Ho" when fed the following C: int main() { puts(1/0 ? "Hi" : "Ho"); } On the other hand, a C compiler based on QBE will build a program which crashes, as one would expect. See also https://c9x.me/notes/2014-09-10.html
