Yeah, we could do that for the containers.

GTY markers serve three purposes though: they explain the meanings of
fields (this part we can handle by hand using templates and
specializations), they mark roots, and they mark things for PCH.

I can see how we could eliminate GTY for roots if we don't mind static
constructors -- but I don't like those.  Is there another way?

PCH, IMO, remains the problem child.

Yeah.  The cleaner the result, the better... and a prize for whoever
manages to remove gengtype entirely.
