[swift-dev] Including the requirement, but not the SILFunction in default witness tables

Hey Slava. I just noticed that when we print out the SIL for default witness tables: sil_default_witness_table _CVarArgAligned { no_default no_default } This really does not provide any information. Is it possible to include the requirement, but not the SILFunction. Then we could do this:
