Adding support for ranges to LLVM is bug 1255.

Hello, I'm looking into creating an llvm backend for the Free Pascal Compiler (<http://www.freepascal.org>). After reading a bit through the documentation and looking at some code generated by llvm-gcc, I have a couple of questions: 1) is there a way to specify ranges in the switch statement? Pascal supports switch statements (called "case" statements there) which
