For example, here's a "significant improvement" comment: > http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2019-February/130214.html But I see nothing there about why it would be a "significant improvement." At best I see an allusion to something like, "this is really different than anytyhing we've done before so it doesn't conflict with any existing naming." If I've misinterpreted I hope Chandler will correct me.

I wrote more details on this thread about why I significantly prefer this. Can you respond there? I don't want to just repeat things that already make sense or miss the things that actually don't make sense. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
