[LLVMdev] Identical types with distinct names

[Reid Spencer]

I think you'd have to change VMCore to make that happen and it could
cause problems with linking, etc. LLVM counts structurally equivalent
types as identical and I think violating that premise would break
things. This is probably a question best answered by Chris. He'll be
back tomorrow.
