Hi Argyrios,

Thanks for the suggestion. This is an interesting idea - I guess I have
been looking at it from a different angle, thinking mostly about a simple
tool that uses Clang to mangle all kinds of names (think a web interface).
So I was detaching standalone symbols from their containers/TUs.

So, I suppose the same thing can be simulated with the approach you
proposing, e.g. by passing a triple flag in the cmdline options
to clang_createTranslationUnitFromSourceFile or something of the sort. What
do you think?
