Consider the following statement:

  const char* foo = "foo";

For the sub-AST:

  `-ImplicitCastExpr <col:19> 'const char *' <NoOp>
    `-ImplicitCastExpr <col:19> 'char *' <ArrayToPointerDecay>
      `-StringLiteral <col:19> 'char[4]' lvalue "foo"

The address of the StringLiteral can be emitted as the Constant.
