I'm not convinced this is required either and are, in general, in favor
of removing this sort of lang hook because the middle-end shouldn't be
doing this sort of thing, but this definitely requires testing. I'd
think acats should be sufficient since modular types of this sort aren't
often used elsewhere.
Eric: I know that somebody recently did a gcov run of gnat1 over the entire
AdaCore test suite and acats. Can you check if the copy_nodes in the
code in question are ever executed?
