This pass creates a lot of ssa.copy intrinsics, typically for a small set of types. Determining the function type, performing intrinsic name mangling and looking up the declaration has noticeable overhead in this case.

Improve this by caching the declarations by type. I've made this a separate map from CreatedDeclarations, which only tracks the declarations that were newly inserted (but not pre-existing ones).
