I just learned about that (because I hadn't any Github notifications enabled for the repo yet) and I'm super excited to see that PR.

It's happening what I was hoping and also expecting - external people just coming by and sending such improvements because they love the retro architecture and enjoy working on LLVM.

So, I think that should make @jrtc27 happy regarding this question :-).
