> `isSpecificBuiltinType` is not the best tool here. Instead, we could get the builtin type kinds and work with them (`CalcType->getAs<BuiltinType>()->getKind()` and `CastType->getAs<BuiltinType>()->getKind()` after checking that both are `BuiltinTypes`).
I do not like it either, just reused the original code and copy-pasted it. I also think that getKind() should be used and instead of the long branches we could do the comparison using relative size table(s).
