            Bug ID: 22111
           Summary: Add concept of 'distinct' MDNodes
           Product: libraries
           Version: trunk
          Hardware: PC
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P
         Component: Core LLVM classes
          Assignee: unassignedbugs at nondot.org

We should have the ability to explicitly create distinct MDNodes, which are not
uniqued, without having to resort to self-references.

This is relatively easy:

 1. Add API.
 2. Add assembly and bitcode support for saving this bit (it's already used
under the hood for uniquing collisions, but it's not serialized).
 3. Add logic to `ValueMap` so that it's kept there too.
