I agree, DIBuilder should not expose its internal structure. This is
why, on a C-only world, it's essential that you separate declaration
from instantiation on DIBuilder.

So far, it's been easy to do that with DIFactory (using a pointer to
it), but DIBuilder's get-range makes it difficult. Can you change it
to accept a list of DIDescriptors rather than Value*? I think for the
metadata it doesn't make any difference and in the back-end you can
always convert it.
