This is actually a consequence of needing to recreate full compiler
state out of a disk stream and the ability of merging compilation units
from different languages (e.g. cross-language inlining).
When reading IL from a stream, we either need the ability to recreate
front-end state so that langhooks can be used or encode all necessary
information explicitly in the IL.
An initial plan to start addressing these issues exists in
