C'mon, don't put words in my mouth.  The reality is that reviewer time
is limited.  I have more expertise in certain areas of LLVM, so I'm
naturally going to gravitate there because that's where the benefit/time
is maximized.

Frankly, I don't feel _comfortable_ reviewing code for subsystems I've
never worked in.  I don't know the design or the design goals of those
areas.

To me, reviewing syntax and spacing is next to worthless.  I'd rather
give a meaty review about design and that requires familiarity.
