I also remember seeing many disparate code snippets littered throughout the clang codebase that tries to deal with the problem of not having facilities to treat call-like nodes uniformly. At some point, I believe there were even some AST changes or supporting structures proposed to ameliorate this problem, but I can't find those at the moment. While I think it might be OK to introduce yet another workaround here, this is a cleanup that is long overdue, and I hope someone will have the time to actually improve the situation. Sorry for the rant, I will actually look at the code but had to vent this.

No worries at all for the rant, I appreciate the broader context. I was definitely surprised to learn that the two types don't share a common ancestor.
