+<p>Due to a limitation in the current LLVM assembly parser (it is limited by
+one-token lookahead), modules are split into two pieces by the "implementation"
+keyword.  Global variable prototypes and definitions must occur before the
+keyword, and function definitions must occur after it.  Function prototypes may
+occur either before or after it.  In the future, the implementation keyword may
+become a noop, if the parser gets smarter.</p>
