​So you mean we actually have three arguments here, ​i32*, i32** %0 and i64
3? The how about the following statement

    The first index always indexes the pointer value given as the first
argument

it should be

    The first index always indexes the pointer value given as the second
argument

​right?

I am okay sending patch to fix the document, btw. :)
