+{- | Commute such that constants are the first arguments. Consider:
+
+(1)    equalsInteger 1 x
+
+(2)    equalsInteger x 1
+
+We have unary application, so these are two partial applications:
+
+(1)    (equalsInteger 1) x
+
+(2)    (equalsInteger x) 1
+
+With (1), we can share the `equalsInteger 1` node, and it will be the same across any place where
+we do this.
+
+With (2), both the nodes here include x, which is a variable that will likely be different in other
+invocations of `equalsInteger`. So the second one is harder to share, which is worse for CSE.
+
+So commuting `equalsInteger` so that it has the constant first both a) makes various occurrences of
+`equalsInteger` more likely to look similar, and b) gives us a maximally-shareable node for CSE.
+
+This applies to any commutative builtin function, although we might expect that `equalsInteger` is
+the one that will benefit the most. Plutonomy only commutes `EqualsInteger`.
