Text copied from GaloisInc/llvm-pretty#43:

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Okay, this particular node has an especially twisted history.

 0. [Feb 12, 2015](llvm-mirror/llvm@8921bbc): `MDTemplateTypeParameter` lands. It's fields have type
    i. `Num`
   ii. `Maybe PValMd`
   iii. `MDString`
   iv. `Maybe PValMd`
    v. `Maybe PValMd`
 1. [Feb 18, 2015](llvm-mirror/llvm@eac950e ): The last field, "scope", was dropped, and the type of the second field was made into a `MDString`.
 2. [Apr 23, 2016](llvm-mirror/llvm@de74840): Removal of MDString-based references (see GaloisInc#39). Third field is made into a `DITypeRef`.

Interestingly, at no point in this process does the field only have three
fields, [as it does in the AST](https://github.com/elliottt/llvm-pretty/blob/de881be8e97bc085150d816d359599d75ad3ac9b/src/Text/LLVM/AST.hs#L1100).

The biggest flaw I'm seeing is that the first field of the record _is not a
reference_, but it is looked up as if it is one. This is causing the parser to
crash, because the reference is not defined.
