It would be good to add the 64-bit versions of these intrinsics to that test as well, and if the polymorphism starts causing problems, it would probably be a good idea to replace the second `llvm_anyint_ty` here with a `LLVMMatchType<3>` so you only have to specify a single type in the intrinsic name.

I'm surprised we don't have intrinsics and builtins for memory.copy and memory.fill, which could actually be useful.

(I forget and I think we went back and forth on that).  Would it make sense to have e.g. in the assembly language but not in C/LLVM IR?

Even if they could be symbolic, we would have to change the linker to give symbols referenced that way their own segments, rather than merging them with all the other symbols into one big segment. If we made those changes, I could see these instructions being very useful in low-level assembly programs, though. The Binaryen segment optimizations are already robust enough that we wouldn't have to do any work in Binaryen for this feature.

Your suggestion of `LLVMMatchType<3>` gets me `error GA8ED74C0: Parameter #4 has out of bounds matching number 3`, and looking at the other definitions, it seems these refer to the previous list, not the current one?
