[PATCH] StringRef-izing some of clang-check

[Christopher Jones]

Thanks for the comments.  I think I understand more the utility of the
project and why my first attempt is no good.  How about this patch?

I'll try to keep an eye out for Arrayrefizations.  Could you point me to an
example where this was recently done as you said?  (I'm still new to git
and just did my first rebase.)

Thanks for helping the noob,
Chris
