`lld/Common/Driver.h` is the header file for the llvm linker, lld, which solang uses as a library.

It would be nice if we could somehow build llvm (including lld) automatically when you run `cargo build`. I haven't seen any way of doing this. Maybe https://crates.io/crates/llvmenv?

I don't think we can change the syntax. - We need to be compatible with ethereum solidity - Introducing a switch for changing the order is even more confusing (now...

Multidimensional arrays in Solidity is confusing every time I look at them. We should add some notes in our documentation before we resolve this issue.

@extraymond that is very interesting. Either solang never generated the correct metadata in the first place, or the metadata has changed somewhat. Would be possible to amend the metadata generation...

I had another idea. Rather than forking/updating ink_metadata, how about moving some structures into contract_metadata for generating the type metadata, for example the registry. This could then be re-used by...
