TIL to never, ever trust GitHub's code search. Like, I dunno what they'll have to do before I trust it again.

https://github.com/search?q=repo%3Allvm%2Fllvm-project+cc_library_wrapper&type=code
"0 files" No indication of an error. Other searches _do_ return files in LLVM.

https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/main/utils/bazel/llvm-project-overlay/third-party/cc_library_wrapper.bzl
A file with that string as its filename, and that string repeatedly in the file body. It's all over the place. Adjacent files also use that string.

Maybe I'm holding it wrong? But even if I'm holding it wrong, how would I ever know if I trust its results? 🤬
