<pre>
    We bumped into this interesting case where adding an annotate attribute to a pointer causes Clang's static initializer optimizations to stop working:
https://godbolt.org/z/Kn65GG5ME
https://godbolt.org/z/vGxzb3KcY

(Yes, that code is doing strange things with initializer lists and should just be written [this way](https://godbolt.org/z/cEj9hEao6). We'll switch that, but the lost optimization was still surprising and seemed worth filing a bug for. 😄)
