[llvm-dev] Debug info scope of explicit casting type does not seem correct

That'd be a bug - we should finish adding attributes to it at some point.
If we can detect that it's never going to be handled (that it's been
entirely optimized away) by the other codepaths, we should do it up-front.
Otherwise we may need to add it to a list somewhere to be handled.
Ah, this probably regressed when we switched the direction of the link in
subprograms (from CU->subprogram to subprogram->CU). Adrian?
