+This crate provides a straightforward way to create a
+[Cranelift](https://crates.io/crates/cranelift) IR function and fill it with
+instructions translated from another language. It contains an SSA construction
+module that provides convenient methods for translating non-SSA variables into
+SSA Cranelift IR values via `use_var` and `def_var` calls.
