[cfe-dev] [RFC] Easier source-to-source transformations with clang tooling

[Yitzhak Mandelbaum via cfe-dev]

Thanks! I've added it to a revision (https://reviews.llvm.org/D56933), but
I wasn't sure what lists to subscribe it to (if any) given that I don't
intend it yet for proper review.

I haven't ported check, but do have a demo check (using Transformer as a
whole) that I can add. I'll ping the thread when that's done.
