When I add that to this test case it adds
```
//.
// CHECK: attributes #0 = { noinline nounwind optnone
"min-legal-vector-width"="0" "no-trapping-math"="true"
"stack-protector-buffer-size"="8" "target-features"="+cx8,+mmx,+sse,+sse2,+x87"
}
//.
// CHECK: !0 = !{i32 1, !"wchar_size", i32 4}
// CHECK: !1 = !{!"clang version 17.0.0 (g...@github.com:llvm/llvm-project.git
684914f47cf59e9ab6d8b0f73c58ca6272ea28d4)"}
// CHECK: !2 = !{!"auto-init"}
//.
```
So it seems to just be doing a simple literal matching on all metadata,
regardless of whether we captured that metadata in any filecheck variable. And
it still doesn't use the META2 variable to match the definition. Am I missing
something? If we use the literal metadata names instead of variable matching
for the definitions, there isn't much point in doing variable matching for the
metadata uses either, since the test still very much relies on the metadata
numbering being stable.
