+Funclet Operand Bundles
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Funclet operand bundles are characterized by the ``"funclet"``
+operand bundle tag. These operand bundles indicate that a call site
+is within a particular funclet. There can be at most one
+``"funclet"`` operand bundle attached to a call site and it must have
+exactly one bundle operand.
+
+If any funclet EH pads have been "entered" but not "exited" (per the
+`description in the EH doc\ <ExceptionHandling.html#wineh-constraints>`_),
+it is undefined behavior to execute a ``call`` or ``invoke`` which:
+
+* does not have a ``"funclet"`` bundle and is not a ``call`` to a nounwind
+ intrinsic, or
+* has a ``"funclet"`` bundle whose operand is not the most-recently-entered
+ not-yet-exited funclet EH pad.
+
+Similarly, if no funclet EH pads have been entered-but-not-yet-exited,
+executing a ``call`` or ``invoke`` with a ``"funclet"`` bundle is undefined behavior.

-
-Executing a ``catchpad`` instruction constitutes "entering" that pad.

-2) implicitly via a call (which unwinds all the way to the current function's caller),
- or via a ``catchswitch``, ``cleanupret``, or ``terminatepad`` that unwinds to caller.
-3) implicitly via an unwind edge whose destination EH pad isn't a descendant of
