That's kind of what I was wondering, but I deal with builtins so infrequently 
that my expectations may be wrong here. If a user declares a builtin with a 
conflicting type outside of a header file, that seems like we'd want to warn 
the user about right? But this seems to remove that warning, at least in the 
case of test/Sema/implicit-builtin-decl.c:71. Or do I misunderstand the 
situation causing the warning to trigger?
