The cases I can think of for that would be something like `foo.operator+(RHS)` or something similarly nonsensical within this context (we're looking for things named `begin` or `end`). I think it'd make more sense to handle this at the matcher level (or early in the call chain) so that we never get here.

So I put some debugprints in there and managed to find the cause of the crash
```
  // llvm/lib/Option/OptTable.cpp:150
  for (StringSet<>::const_iterator I = PrefixesUnion.begin(),
                                   E = PrefixesUnion.end(); I != E; ++I) {
    StringRef Prefix = I->getKey();
    for (StringRef::const_iterator C = Prefix.begin(), CE = Prefix.end();
                                   C != CE; ++C)
      if (!is_contained(PrefixChars, *C))
        PrefixChars.push_back(*C);
  }```
However I'm still not 100% sure of the cause of the crash. Its nothing to do with `begin()` being a member of the bast class StringMap. I tried testing with inherited begin/end methods and no crash.
My best guess is Prefix.begin() returns `StringMapIterator<>`, that class contains a conversion operator to `StringMapConstIterator<>`. Conversion operators names aren't Identifiers so that would explain the assert.
If that is the case, the actual issue is in `digThroughConstructors` being fooled by the `CXXMemberCallExpr` that's just a conversion operator.

The other patch in the works doesn't use that function so the bug is not present there, maybe its easier to just get that ready. WDYT?
