Can somebody elaborate a bit on what "improve scanning" means here?
Currently, the TypeInfo is needed if you want to call the destructor of
a struct.
Eventually, if we ever have precise scanning, the TypeInfo may provide a
way to only scan reference types within the block, eliminating sources
of false pointers.
