What particular observations are you referring to that gave you the
impression that these were not needed?

I'm part-way through migrating LLVM to not depend on the type a pointer
points to, with the intent to eventually remove typed pointers in favor of
a type less pointer type and remove all pointer to pointer bitcasts, but
that work is far from complete.
