I was debugging something in windbg and I saw this:

<unavailable>     class lld::coff::`anonymous namespace'::PDBLinker * this =

<unavailable>     class llvm::ArrayRef<lld::coff::SectionChunk *> * __range2 =

<unavailable>     class lld::coff::SectionChunk * debugChunk = <value

<unavailable>     class llvm::FixedStreamArray<llvm::object::FpoData>
fpoRecords = <value unavailable>
<unavailable>     class llvm::BinaryStreamReader reader = <value unavailable>
<unavailable>     class llvm::ArrayRef<unsigned char> relocatedDebugContents =
<value unavailable>
<unavailable>     unsigned int count = <value unavailable>
<unavailable>     class llvm::FixedStreamArrayIterator<llvm::object::FpoData>
__begin4 = <value unavailable>
<unavailable>     class llvm::FixedStreamArrayIterator<llvm::object::FpoData>
__end4 = <value unavailable>
<unavailable>     class llvm::FixedStreamArray<llvm::object::FpoData> *
__range4 = <value unavailable>

Some of these variables are compiler synthesized and therefore uninteresting.
We should consider mot emitting debug info for them in the first place.

Alternatively, we could try mixing in scopes in our optimized debug info output
to hide some of these variables, which are not actually in scope at this point
in the program.

I am stopped at the mergeDebugT call here in LLD:
