/// Code generation state/metadata for D types. The mapping from IrType to
/// Type is injective but not surjective.
///
/// Derived classes should be created using their static get() methods, which
/// makes sure that uniqueness is preserved in the face of forward references.
///
/// Note that the get() methods expect the IrType of the passed type/symbol not
/// to be set yet. Another option would be to just return the existing IrType
/// in such cases. This would bring the API more in line with the llvm::Type
/// get() functions. Currently all clients use the DtoType() wrapper anyway
/// instead of directly handling IrType instances, so keeping the assertions
/// allows us to check for any uniqueness violations that might have slipped
/// through.
// TODO: Implement the described changes (now that the forward reference
// handling logic seems to work correctly) and get rid of the "no-op" DtoType
// calls in IrAggr, ... that only exist for their side effect.
