> Probably, we land-up with code like below. We still need to copy to `LocalVars`, because findVariablesToLower() expect return std::vector. And, based on earlier reveiw comments, I have made changes to collectStaticLDSGlobals() to work with SmallVector. Additionally, look at the complexity of the code change in terms of understanding it. So, I thought it is not worth, since we still need to copy anyway.

Additionally, there is also a added complexity of handling "constness" of "GlobalVariable *"
