[PATCH] Add a note to LangRef about static allocas.

[Sean Silva]

Hi all, the distinction between static and non-static (or "dynamic")
allocas seems to be something that people reading the alloca section of
LangRef would be interested in.

This terminology (which stems from the name of AllocaInst::isStaticAlloca
AFAICT) has percolated into the documentation (docs/InAlloca.rst) and is a
distinction whose precise conditions are worth calling out explicitly to
people looking up the alloca instruction.

I wrote up a small note describing this, largely modeled after the doxygen
on AllocaInst::isStaticAlloca.

Does this seem worthwhile? Any other ideas of where to put mention of it?
