An alternative to marking everything with `elementtype` or adding metadata, can something be done in the frontend to mangle the function name with OpenCL pointee types, then the backend translates that to the proper SPIRV types?

We were trying to get away from relying on mangled names in the backend as it is harder to target for non-clang and non-OpenCL based languages.
