llvm dev - Jan 2013 - [LLVMdev] Renaming lib/AsmParser?

Hello,

The recent renamings moved some IR-related files and directories to
more logical places. Is there a plan to rename lib/AsmParser as well?
This directory name is somewhat misleading, because the code in it
parses IR. In fact, nothing mentions AsmParser in the code inside that
dir, except the build files. The name creates a confusion with other
AsmParser citizens of LLVM like lib/MC/MCParser/AsmParser.cpp (which
is an actual assembly parser, class AsmParser).

Renaming it to lib/IRParser would make sense to me (along with corresponding
things in test/ etc).
