Would it be useful to make changes where we pass the DECL
nodes down farther? Mark Mitchell and I have had some
preliminary discussions about that, and it would be useful for
some of the things that I'm doing.
That would be a long-term change, of course. My feeling is
that we should put your change in for now, and explore more
complete solutions later.
I think it's time for people who are working on things who need this
to just bite the bullet and push the DECLs down, as you and I discussed.
Anything else is just increasing the cruft level in the compiler, and
it just makes it harder to fix it the right way later. Pursuing
short-term expediency is exactly why some parts of GCC are a mess;
we should not encourage adding to that mess.
