collectUsesWithPtrTypes should only be called with a pointer type value. 
Assuming there is an intrinsic call that uses a pointer and returns an 
integer for example, the User->getType()->isPointerTy() check will cause 
the call user to not be added to the worklist, because we do not want to 
have non-pointers in the worklist. I should probably just add another 
pointer check under the call handling so it stops falling through to here.
