Tim,

> Opinions, anyone? (Hint hint).
I think here stuff should be thought of from different points. While
providing source type for argument might be beneficial, it might cause
moving the code from frontend to backend. Consider e.g. passing struct
by value including crazy padding inside. The ABI might specify that
padding should be removed and struct is passed field-by-field.

Also, note that in many cases the ABI rules are worded in terms of
source language which might now be preserved during IR generation,
so...
