The feature is working here(*), so you can stop speculation about what's
needed and what's not.

I'm interested on *why* people want the feature, not on *how* to
implement it.

BTW, building libclang and only libclang with its dependencies should
Just Work (TM). If it doesn't, then the dependencies needs some
tightening.

 * Testing support may be a serious hurdle, depending on how lit works.
