I had "predefined_types" at some point, which turned into
"predeclared_types", I am fine with a different name.
This kind of declaration does not seem quite equivalent to a declaration
in user code, but the difference is minimal. IIRC the comments do describe
this as some kind of temporary declaration until we see a real one.
I am ok with declared_ptr_types, but it may not convey the idea that this
is not a list of all the pointer types in the program, just a few standard
ones.
standard_ptr_types? standard_structptr_types?
