XML is arguably a decent interchange format. But, I'd much prefer a more 
native and low-level API like we have today. I think it's terrific that 
comment XML is available. But, I think it is silly to force the incurred 
the cost for serialization and deserialization just to pass data through 
libclang.

If you want to refactor the comment API so it isn't traversal based, I 
say go for it. But please don't force libclang consumers to use XML.
