// DecomposeMultiDimRefs - Convert multi-dimensional references consisting of
// any combination of 2 or more array and structure indices into a sequence of
// instructions (using getelementpr and cast) so that each instruction has at
// most one index (except structure references, which need an extra leading
// index of [0]).
