Yes. It's a relatively minor concern, but clang's stack can get pretty deep 
inside of CodeGenFunction. At one point we needed to outline code by hand to 
unbreak the ASan build. Later I think we just increased the stack size rlimit. 
I don't see a countervailing performance benefit of allocating more space 
inline, at least not here.
