I concede that my understanding of the C++ front-end inner workings are quite narrow and so the folling is basically a suggestion. But it seems to me that at a few places where C++ queries the call graph for a node, the lazy node creation is not necessary. If a maintainer can verify and approve (parts of) this after the big patch is committed, it would be a nice cleanup too.
