+declaration as a reference to an absolute symbol, which causes the backend to
+use absolute relocations for the symbol even in position independent code,
+and expresses the possible ranges that the global variable's *address*
----------------
This is sort of nitpicking, but could we call this something other than !range?  Maybe !absolute_symbol?  It's very different from the other uses of range metadata, given that it has mandatory effects on code generation.
