Description

Is this possible in llvmlite? It doesn't appear to be documented, or exposed through the API set for objects like llvmlite.ir.GlobalVariable.

Research direction

Start by reading the llvmlite.ir.GlobalVariable API and the existing metadata-related interfaces. Determine whether global variables can accept metadata references through the exposed API, and define what documentation and tests would be needed to demonstrate the supported behavior.
