Hi,

I got slightly annoyed with many unnecessary pointer bitcasts while writing
some tests and was wondering about the status of opaque pointer types. It
looks like the last major update was
https://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2019-December/137684.html (sorry
I couldn't respond to that thread since it's not in my inbox).

Apparently Tim had a stack of patches which I see in GitHub. Are those
still mostly relevant?

Should we add the opaque pointer type itself now to experiment with?
