In fact, the lib/VMCore/AsmWriter.cpp file performs a layering violation, because it calculates the DWARF tag from this debug info, which is more appropriately calculated via the debug info module. It could eventually allow us to use the debug info module's comment printer to generate fuller comments in the .ll file.
