[llvm-dev] Support for monomorphization

[Bruce Hoult via llvm-dev]

llvm IR provides capabilities somewhere between C and an idealised assembly
language for mainstream CPUs but with things such as an infinite number of
registers.

If you are writing a compiler for a language very different to C then it's
your job to figure out how to map your language features onto C/generalised
ASM.
