Comment (by RyanGlScott):

 I think it would be worthwhile to investigate this issue further (probably
 in another Trac ticket). My gut feeling is that Phab:D4264 is simple
 enough that we can adopt it without too much worry—worst comes to worst,
 we can scrap the current implementation of `typeToLHsType` in favor of
 something simpler later.
