[LLVMdev] Code-generation: lang=>JSON, JSON=>lang and merging into lang

[Kenneth Adam Miller]

Possibly protobuf or capn proto would be much more clean alternatives to
json. I was working with interpreting instruction semantics a while back,
and you shouldn't have to write a parser to get the data structure back
into coherent form, you can get what you want automatically and have the
structure isolated into a common schema.
