Even in C++ code you don't use placement new that often, so e.g. by having
the placement new explicit through some special GIMPLE statement in the IL,
you could e.g. just look if a particular function or loop contains any
placement new stmts (cached in struct function and loop?) and use TBAA if
it isn't there.
