It is indeed a target property. DL is one choice here (if it is not the most preferable one). Like I mentioned before, TTI and `TargetMachine` could have been one, but not feasible. Where else do you suggest?

IIUC, the query 1) you were referring to was `Type::canLosslesslyBitCastTo`. If that's the case, it does nothing for AS cast.
