What he's saying is that
<COMPONENT_REF type struct field>
(and all other reference nodes) would implicitly convert FIELD to TYPE,
if that's not FIELD's intrinsic type. I think this makes a hell of a
lot of sense, personally.
I have no problem with that, though I suspect it's a bit of an earthquake
at this point. Would we do it for both GENERIC and GIMPLE or just the
latter?
Note that I also think that get_inner_reference and handle_component_p
probably only need to handle VIEW_CONVERT_EXPR and not the rest of the
conversions at this point.
