And there is no way to deduce the information? We have type information
for all arguments and local variables, right? So we can follow that.

struct foo {
        int ponies;
        int moar_ponies;
};

struct bar {
        int my_ponies;
        struct foo *foo;
};

int moo(struct bar *bar)
{
        return bar->foo->moar_ponies;
}

Since we have the argument type, we can find the type for both loads,
the first load:

  *bar+8, we know is: struct foo * bar::foo
  *foo+4, we know is: int foo::moar_ponies

Or am I missing something?
