I forgot to mention. This patch implements the parse+sema, but there 
will need to be a follow-up patch to make this useful in C++ mode 
(without using __asm__). We'll need to mangle the enable_if expression 
into the name, but I don't have a good mangling for that. The ABI does 
provide ways to encode vendor extensions, but there's no way to indicate 
that the vendor-extension should be demangled as an expression. It's a 
problem for a future patch.
