[LLVMdev] Does the OCaml binding include intrinsic support?

[Jonathan Ragan-Kelley]

Indeed, it would appear that I am a moron and that this obvious route works just fine. I was confounded by the richer support for using intrinsics in the C++ interface, and some corresponding features in some 3rd party bindings (llvm-py, in particular), but this works exactly as I should have expected from the .ll assembly form.

I documented the results for a simple SSE test with an example on SO:

Thanks.
