You did answer my question. I don't really mind source level intrinsic, I'm more concerned about the IR and how they are lowered. Overall I like where this is going. It looks like @davidxl is on it for the review, and he seems to have a good idea of where this should go, so I'll defer to him for acceptance/change requests.
