The patch looks good to me, but I have a more general question before we go
ahead with this: should we continue to add Clang-specific __has_feature
tests for features that are covered by C++'s SD-6 feature test
recommendations? Per the latest working draft of SD-6, the portable,
cross-compiler way to check for digit separators is

  #if __cpp_digit_separators >= 201309L

... and there seems to be no reason for portable code to use __has_feature
for this check.

(That said, I *can* see an argument for supporting __has_extension for such
features in general... though perhaps not for this one, since it would not
be a conforming extension in C++11.)
