Yeah, it makes perfect sense.  I think maybe reading the document I got
caught up in the BNF grammar -- it's a bit distracting.  I've not seen a
similar BNF specification for LLVM IR.  It may exist somewhere, but BNF
isn't part of any LLVM document I've read.  :) Maybe the grammar bits
could be factored out into a formal specification and LangRef could be a
little more informal.

Just suggestions, obviously.
