I'm curious: as I understand it, one of the purposes of the FFI is to allow
bindings to "close to the metal" languages.  I'm curious what would be
involved in letting the FFI provide bindings to LLVM code in Haskell.

While I'm at it, I'll mention the most recent reason that this thought
occurred to me, which is the complaint in
here<http://disciple-devel.blogspot.com/2011/03/real-time-edge-detection-in-haskell.html>
that
Haskell can't currently get access to SIMDs, while LLVM
does<http://llvm.org/docs/LangRef.html#t_vector>have that access, and
I'm trying to think about how I might go about gluing
those together.
