<pre>
    This was an oversight on my part that I just realized. There are cases where the pointer type analysis may not be able to identify the type of a pointer. In those cases today the pointer type analysis emits an `i8` and we insert no-op bitcasts in DXILPrepare so that we can emit casts in the final bitcode.

We should probably be using `i32` instead of `i8` since DXIL doesn't actually have 8-bit types.
