Right, but I think the idea is that the reference to `LateParsedTypeAttribute` 
should be opaque, since it's referencing state in the parser? The AST library 
shouldn't need to see through it.

Yes, I think so.

It looks like `ASTContext.cpp` also includes `DeclSpec.h` for 
`ASTContext::getLateParsedAttrType`, but I don't think that actually needs the 
definition of `LateParsedTypeAttribute` -- a forward declaration should be 
enough (and it has one already, via Type.h -> TypeBase.h).
