Ah ha! I was looking for something like this. Why didn't I see that 
there? I must be blind.

In a vaguely related node, why does Module::getGlobalVariable *not* 
return types with internal linkage? There must be some logic behind 
that choice that I can't figure out. It is easy to copy the code out of 
Module.cpp if you need to find variables with internal linkage, but it 
seems unnecessary to me.

Thanks,

Evan
