Remnants of an old project which replaces the uses of trees to represent 
types everywhere in GCC with a new type pointer. This provided much 
stronger compile time type checking.   These few places in the patch 
caused compile time errors because the accesses were not type nodes.

They were hanging around in an old branch from 2017 I was looking at, so 
I figured it was time to get them into trunk :-)
