I agree with Reid in this case.  Having a snippet parser would be cool,
but I don't think it would be very heavily used, and very hard to get
right.  I would rather invest effort in making the LLVM IR easier to use.
For example, would it help if I added a FunctionType::get method that took
a null terminated list of arguments?

In general, if you think the LLVM IR interface is clunky or doesn't
support a common usage case, please let me know so I can fix it! :)
