The idea seems (superficially) reasonable to me. Have you tested this in
the case where the driver is given multiple input files to process? Please
add a test covering that case.

What about the case where the clang driver runs a tool other than the clang
frontend? Your hypothetical process that runs clang with
--serialize-diagnostics and drops its stderr will lose diagnostics there
too, right?
