 <p>Once the insertion point is set up, we call the <tt>CodeGen()</tt> method for
 the root expression of the function.  If no error happens, this emits code to
 compute the expression into the entry block and returns the value that was
 computed.  Assuming no error, we then create an LLVM <a

+Once the function is built, we call the <tt>verifyFunction</tt> function, which
+is provided by LLVM.  This function does a variety of consistency checks on the
+generated code, to determine if our compiler is doing everything right.  Using
+this is important: it can catch a lot of bugs.  Once the function is finished
