I did a quick search on this in the bugtracker and found
https://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=4068 which seems to be assigned
already.

I hope somebody can respond on this. I think I understand what is
asked but it's still my interpretation of a one-liner in the open
projects page. I'd love it if I could get a bit more detail on what
the idea was of this project as it was added to the open projects
list.
