+ *  Add possibility to write LLVM IR using the LLVM C API. A binding to llvm-c
+    is required. See:
+    - http://npcontemplation.blogspot.com/2008/06/secret-of-llvm-c-bindings.html
+    - http://llvm.org/doxygen/dir_8bd7904b0608e55d63147cbe5e1eb28c.html

+
+ *  Lisaac could be modified to make bindings to external functions easier and
+    portable with both C and LLVM backend (I don't know for Java). Instead of
+    writing:
+      - some_c_function (i:INTEGER,c:CHARACTER):REAL <-
+        `SomeCFunction(@i, @c)`:(REAL);
+    We could have something like this in the **Section External**:
+      - `SomeCFunction` (i:INTEGER,c:CHARACTER):REAL;
+    Lisaac would then generate the function declaration only, and use it when
+    necessary. Bindings with C would never have been that simple, and portable
+    among backends.
