Happy to do so. Is this more about the change in the builtin, or about spelling 
it `__builtin_volatile_memcpy` and such? I've thought about this, and when the 
builtin has two potentially volatile arguments I've concluded that the IR 
builtin really wasn't sufficient in semantics, but in practice it is sufficient 
today. So putting `volatile` in a function name (versus overloading) seems to 
not really be what makes sense here. I'd therefore rather overload, and as you 
say we could support more than just `volatile` in doing so. Is that the main 
thing you'd suggest going for in an RFC (`volatile` as well as address space 
overloads and whatever else)? Again, I'm happy to do that, but I want to make 
sure I reflect your feedback correctly.
