That's not a problem:
```
TestUnion d = {.c=b};
```
does produce LazyCompundVal and we don't get a pointer, but the value type.
That's why I was asking how I can construct an example when this current
implementation fails.

Value categories are orthogonal to types, so I don't see why we should care for
those in `getType`. How do you think it should affect this particular
functionality?
