After all the plugin manager knows which languages we have type systems for. If you're going to be doing a lot of this generalization, can you add a similar enumeration for the LanguageRuntimes?   There are 40 or so languages in the language enum but we only have a couple of LanguageRuntimes...


My understanding is `TypeSystemEnumerateSupportedLanguages` is just for getting what languages are supported by the currently loaded TypeSystems (e.g. ClangASTContext) and not necessarily all the loaded language plugins. From what I understand, this is handled by Language itself using a map that it populates on-demand.

The same is probably achievable with LanguageRuntimes. I think adding a `ForEachLanguageRuntime` method to Process that would populate its LanguageRuntimes map on demand much like Language does would probably give us a similar effect. I could do this in a follow up commit to make these kinds of situations a little more efficient. What do you think of this plan?
