Thanks for the CC.  I think combining them makes sense.  I recall having
similar issues finding things in the past.  If you go ahead and do this,
you can add me as a reviewer for approval.

+1 for combining. I tried learning TableGen in April. My experience
was also that I had to consult both documents to understand a concept.
There are some concepts for which LangIntro.rst provides more detailed
information while another set of concepts for which LangRef.rst
provides more detailed information.

Thanks, David. I have started a new document titled "TableGen
Programmer's Guide." Getting it in reasonable shape will take a few
days. Then I'll have to do some research on the code to find out how certain
things really work, such as DEFVAR and !CAST. I may even understand some of the
code when I'm done.

Thank you for driving this Paul, I agree that it is better to have one doc on
TableGen.  This has been a point of confusion for me as well - when I land in
the wrong one and can’t find what I’m looking for :-).
