Changes to TableGen
-------------------
* The new "TableGen Programmer's Reference" replaces the "TableGen Language
Introduction" and "TableGen Language Reference" documents.
* The syntax for specifying an integer range in a range list has changed.
The old syntax used a hyphen in the range (e.g., ``{0-9}``). The new syntax
uses the "`...`" range punctuator (e.g., ``{0...9}``). The hyphen syntax
is deprecated. The "TableGen Language Reference" document has been updated.
