Hmm. Right now we do not have access to the function declaration at
linearize time. We've checked that the arguments match, and we've cast
the arguments to the right types (evaluate.c), so the thinking was
that you just use the arguments as-is.

But if llvm needs the declaration of a function, we'd need to squirrel it away.
