I don't see affordances for operating at multiple levels of abstraction. The single example of another level is ccall to an LLVM instrinsic - that's not any different from inline assembly in basically any other compiled language. Supporting multiple levels would mean you can do all (or most) the same things with LLVM IR that you can do with Julia itself.
