This increases regionck performance greatly - type-checking on
librustc decreased from 9.1s to 8.1s. Because of Amdahl's law,
total performance is improved only by about 1.5% (LLVM wizards,
this is your opportunity to shine!).

I am somewhat worried really need to find out why we have this Red Queen's
Race going on here. Originally I suspected it may be a problem from RFC1214's
warnings, but it seems to be an effect from other changes.

However, the increase seems to be mostly in LLVM's time, so I guess
it's the LLVM wizards' problem.
