Probably adding an explicit mechanism will be met with considerable 
resistence because it involves modifying the IR. That's why I was 
proposing to sidestep the issue by leveraging what the IR already 
provides.
Unfortunately I haven't heard any suggestion/feedback about the 
proposed syntax. Should I interpret this lack of comments as an 
indication of it being a good solution or what? Can I go ahead and make 
a patch for the docs to formalize the idea?
