+Overview:
+"""""""""
+
+The ``llvm.arbitrary.fp.convert`` intrinsic performs conversions
+between values whose interpretation differs from their representation
+in LLVM IR. The intrinsic is overloaded on both its return type and first
+argument. Metadata operands describe how the raw bits should be interpreted
+before and after the conversion.

I'd expect to have 2 intrinsics. One uses the natural IR fp type as the source, and the other for the result. Do you need the exotic-fp-to-other-exotic-FP case?
