"Soon" is indeed relative, and so is "later", and so is 99% of the words. 
However, words have specific meanings, otherwise opposites would refer to the 
same thing, and words become useless and meaningless. "Soon" means soon.

Until the `OMPBuilder` becomes the way to CG OMP IR, we will always be playing 
catch-up. All the `OMPKinds` def.s are very copy/paste-able one or two-liners 
and very easy to move. However, the actual code to CG the IR is not. 
Therefore, I hereby declare, that henceforth, for as long as I am working on 
the `OMPBuilder`, if people are willing to write the CG code of new things as 
part of the `OMPBuilder`, I am happy to be the one to move the def.s for them 
at anytime, including on my deathbed. :D

Johannes Comon .. This patch IS Small (~300 lines) and everything here is 
related (with one exception below). This patch adds 4 new  `createXXXX` calls 
to the `OMPBuilder` needed by the privatization stuff in patches D79676 
<https://reviews.llvm.org/D79676> and D79677 <https://reviews.llvm.org/D79677> 
. These calls require certain runtime calls and typing def.s. It is how we have 
always done it for any new `createXXXX` method starting with 
`CreateOMPParallel()`. The Def.s I added are almost completely gone. The 
exception I mentioned earlier is the pass-throughs to the `OMPBuilder`'s 
`IRBuilder` which were LGTM-ed early on and nothing uses them yet, so it is 
really a non-issue.

However, What wasted everyone's time my friend, is removing integral parts to 
this patch which has two other feature patches depend on it, which meant I 
needed to build and rebuild to make sure things still work. it would have been 
way easier to make D79739 <https://reviews.llvm.org/D79739> modify and build on 
the typing in this one as I suggested there, and in retrospect, is something I 
should've pushed harder for. Anyways, let's move on. :D

Let me know, if there are any further comments.

It is. But that patch has landed yet, and so I cannot use that. so for the time 
being, I am going to keep this way. and after both patches land, I'll make a 
minor patch that will just make this small modification.
