Sorry for the very late response.

I looked into using the `CompilerDeclContext()`.

This does not work in this case because the context is not set in this specific use case and I'm not sure if it case be set.
It is initialized with an invalid context when the function is called <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/479eed18503d1cf17fe9c0348cdb5f2968bc9969/lldb/source/Core/Module.cpp#L987-L988>.

The entry point in our use case is `lldb::SBTarget::FindTypes(const char *)`. A stacktrace looks like this:
SymbolFileDWARF::FindTypes()
lldb_private::Module::FindTypes_Impl()
lldb_private::ModuleList::FindTypes()
lldb::SBTarget::FindTypes()

Given that the input is just a C-string, I'm not sure how to derive a `CompilerDeclContext()` from that.
What we are trying to optimize is a call like:
`lldb.target.FindTypes("Some::Namespace::Type")`
