How do you reference another function (or wrap it in a lambda) in IR?
I have a `fun hello(who: String) = "Hello, $who!"` as a `IrSimpleFunction`.
I need to pass this to a fun `process(function: (String) -&gt; String)`, but I’m confused as to how to pass my function as a value argument to another.

To be clear, in source code I’d do process(::hello) or process { hello(it) }.

You can take a look at `IrFunctionReference`, which backs up `::hello` syntax iirc

What I usually do is to write it in Kotlin and use `IrModuleFragment.dump()`  how the IR looks like. From there it is usually easy to find the IR calls to build the given part.

Thanks a lot guys. dump is super useful. I also went a long way by just looking at autocompletion, e.g. `ir*` functions in declaration builder, or ir factory. For some reason function references are not advertised there though
