/// 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 to
/// be not yet set.
///
/// This could be altered to just return the existing IrType in order to bring
/// the API entirely in line with the LLVM type get() methods. It has not been
/// changed so far since currently all clients use the DtoType wrapper rather
/// than handling IrType instances directly, and keeping it this way allows to
/// easily check for uniqueness violations in the face of forward references.
/// 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.
