I think this depends on our attitude towards parameter hints for other pseudo-expression usages. Take the getter case from the test for example, the expression for `S().x[1][2]` turns out to be
```
`-PseudoObjectExpr 'int'
 |- (Syntatic) MSPropertySubscriptExpr '<pseudo-object type>' lvalue
 `- (Semantic) CXXMemberCallExpr 'int'
```
There's no chance to see hints for the arguments if we neglect all the syntactic forms being `CallExpr`s. Besides, there are still some similar usages in ObjC / OpenMP that I'm not familiar with. 
Anyway, if we agree to sacrifice the chances to see these hints, I'd love to move forward with all `CallExpr`s within a pseudo-expression being dropped. Otherwise, I think it's better to leave it to the next bug report / feature request. What do you think?
