================
Comment at: clang/lib/Analysis/FlowSensitive/Models/UncheckedOptionalAccessModel.cpp:262
 /// Returns true if and only if `Type` is an optional type.
 bool isOptionalType(QualType Type) {
   if (!Type->isRecordType())

Good point. I dismissed reusing the matcher here because of performance concerns -- setting up the match is expensive (in the constant-time sense but still a lot of overhead). But, we're already using matching quite a lot so I suspect it doesn't matter. Still, what about the reverse -- use this predicate in the matcher, which is faster while still ensuring consistent results?

That said, what I really want is for the matcher logic to be made available outside of the matcher framework -- I think `NamedDecl` should have the core logic (parallel to `getQualifiedNameAsString`) and that could be used elsewhere, including the matcher.
