How is a user of this API supposed to map the unsigned Kind values to something meaningful? We don't have an enum LLVMMetadataKind, do we?

Very small nit: Global. There's some code out there that generates a higher level API by parsing the C headers and inferring semantics from names, let's keep it easy to maintain.

You’re supposed to be able to register your own kinds with LLVMContext::getMDKindID et al. I was planning to wrap those in a follow-up.

I wanted to distinguish these from their unnamedspaced counterparts that seem to work exclusively with the parallel APIs in llvm::Instruction. Is there some middle ground naming scheme here or should I remove the Global bits and add GlobalObject support to the Instruction one?

Oh I just mean the argument name.
