Interesting? Can you point out the doc that gave you this impression? I
would really like to fix it. :)

I don't understand at all how it limits you. The LLVM in-memory, .ll, and
.bc files are all exactly equivalent in their representation.

Sure, there are many options. You can browse:
The doxygen docs: http://llvm.org/doxygen/
The cvsweb: http://llvm.org/cvsweb/cvsweb.cgi/llvm/
Or you can fill in garbage in the download page. I'll email you off list
with a direct link.
