i'd use a custom macro here called (with-new-llvm-node ...) or
somesuch, and that would also make the code a whole lot more easier on
the brain when reading.

and if it's a regular and often repeated construct in the codebase,
then i'd even introduce an implicit -node- variable in that macro
(which is colored specially in my emacs).

IMHO.
