Another way to look at this, is to notice that currently `DeclStmt` of the 
variable isn't a `Gadget` on its own, and ask whether it *should* be a `Gadget`.

I currently believe that yes, it should be a `Gadget`, because it can 
potentially be a "multi-variable" `Gadget` if, for example, the 
initializer-expression is itself another raw pointer `DeclRefExpr`. So there 
needs to be a way to communicate that the fix for the variable declaration may 
depend on `Strategy` for more than one variable, and that the `Strategy` itself 
should be chosen carefully, considering that choices for different variables 
may interact this way. And from the point of view of the *other* variable, this 
definitely needs to be a `Gadget`, it's no different from any other `Gadget`.

So, this part needs some more work.
