[PATCH] [DOC] Mapping High-Level Language Constructs to LLVM IR

[David Blaikie]

Would it be helpful to find more incremental forms of this documentation so
we could make it 'live' (linked from places, indexed, etc) and improve it
from there - rather than having an incomplete/unusable (I get the
impression it's unusable in its current state - is that correct?) document?
