Sorry, I mis-clicked and sent this review while I was still editing it.

I agree that this is a theoretically better representation for targets that 
care about convergence, since it biases compilation towards the more 
conservative assumption.  On the other hand, since the default language mode is 
apparently to assume non-convergence of user functions, and since the vast 
majority of targets do not include convergence as a meaningful concept, you're 
also just gratuitously breaking a ton of existing test cases, as well as adding 
compile time for manipulating this attribute.  Perhaps there should be a global 
metadata, or something in the increasingly-misnamed "data layout" string, which 
says that convergence is meaningful, and we should only add the attribute in 
appropriately-annotated modules?
