I'm not quite sure here, how would we go about implementing something like array to pointer conversion for C only (or any other language specific thing)? Do we just add an `if (Language::LanguageIsCFamily()` check `ValueObject::Dereference` or is there a better way to delegate it to TypeSystemClang?
