Right now, if you have a DWARFType foo and you want to get some of its common derivations (e.g. foo *, const foo *), you need to jump through some hoops:

next(typ for typ in foo.deriving_types if typ.is_pointer)
next(typ for typ in foo.deriving_types if typ.is_const)

This becomes especially annoying when you want multiple levels of derivation. Instead, we should support APIs like these:

# foo -> const foo *
foo.const_of.pointer_of
