My incorrect assumption was that the ArgumentList would get built when the
Function is instantiated -- by simply walking over the parameter type vector
of the FunctionType.

Instead you have to manually fill in the ArgumentList but this also gives you
the opportunity to specify a name for each argument. In my case all I needed
to add was one line of code to create the only argument:

  new Argument(PointerType::get(Type::IntTy), "arg", pWrapper);
