> Actually, I don't think the collection can be static!  When we re-use the same process for multiple TUs, we get a new ASTContext.  SO this would result in us having types that don't necessarily 'match'.  I think this collection/checks need to either be stored in ASTContext, or in an 'if-else' tree here.
I also don't think it should be maintained in this place. Shouldn't this be better maintained together with the printf parameter checking part, what do you think?
