Richard,
It is hard to tell whether you are being so literal by intention or because
"you simply do not get it". What those who embrace LLVM for its modularity
value (cherish?) is that the interfaces induced by modularity are exposed,
leveragable and unencumbered. Though as a programmer you may take umbrage
at the suggestion that you creation is non-modular this LLVM community
could not care less how modular your design and code were / are so long as
you refuse to allow that modularity to be exploited.
