Yes that's right. But if users forget to do that, they see a more cryptic error 
message because we are generating invalid IR. (Inserting a value of incorrect 
type into an LLVM struct.) If the materialization functions bails, it will 
trigger the `unrealized_conversion_cast` materialization, that can be debugged 
more easily.

One reason why I'd like to add these extra checks is because they helped me 
adapting the MemRef type conversion rules in #116524. I think these checks will 
also be useful for others.

There was no good place to add such tests until now. I added a new 
`TestPatterns.cpp` in `test/lib/Dialect/LLVM`.
