Ok, this is clear. Do you plan any "foreign function interface" or 
something similar that would ease, if not automate communication across 
languages that have an LLVM backend ? It may look slightly out of the 
scope of the LLVM projet, but wouldn't it be interesting to provide some 
guidelines for LLVM backend developers to allow inter-language 
communication ?
