This. An idiom I've used extensively is
pointer-to-struct-with-name-mangled-type-information. Because of this I can
rely on LLVM entirely for type tracking, which feels like a good thing. It
shouldn't be a big migration issue in my case, but I'd appreciate any words
of wisdom from the LLVM community.
