Should we be doing something like this? to unwrap RelabelType or
CoerceViaIO until we have a different type of node to check
for later on. We can guard the loop and break out after x amount
of times as well. At minimum, we should try to unwrap at least
2 times for some of the common real-world scenarios.

What do you think?

```
while (IsA(element, RelabelType) || IsA(element, CoerceViaIO))
{
if (IsA(element, RelabelType))
element = (Node *) ((RelabelType *) element)->arg;
else if (IsA(element, CoerceViaIO))
element = (Node *) ((CoerceViaIO *) element)->arg;
}
```
