Re: [lto] PATCH: Add support for referencing types from function bodies

Fundamentally, all a CONST_DECL gives you is a name for a constant. But, there's no advantage to having names when optimizing; you might as well just use the constant. 

And I'd argue that CONST_DECL therefore shouldn't survive into the
middle-end; it should be replaced by the underlying constant by fold and/or
gimplification.

That's exactly what I argued, so we agree.
