Me neither. It's just that every client that wants to support -D
(nearly every client) needs a copy of that function. Case in point:
it's currently defined both in clang.cpp and Preprocessor.cpp. I
thought about adding a PredefineBuffer class, but that seems overkill
(?).

The patch adds the function as a "global function", it's not contained
in any class.

Sure. Where? As Preprocessor uses it, it needs to be in Lex (or
Basic). None of the headers looks like a good fit. Creating a new
header just for this again looks like overkill.
