Short of some ABI stability (like in the C api) or generalization of
users (for example, we want a macro to call isPowerOfTwo or other
functions that do need TargetData), I think we should make the code as
simple as possible.

Having the target data makes the function a bit more cumbersome to
call, and a bit more cumbersome to read. Not having it also makes it
clear just by looking at the interface that in doesn't do anything
target dependent.
