Can you expand the objection a bit? If interfacing with C, and
specially C++, there is already quiet a bit of lowering that has to
happen. That is true even for arguments, where more intricate issues
like a value being in register or not need to be computed by the tool
producing LLVM IR, so they already need to compute  the sizes.
