You understand correctly. :-)

We typically don't add new printing policies in tree without some need for them in the project itself (otherwise this becomes a maintenance problem), and I'm not certain I see a strong need for this to live in Clang. I think it might be best to wait until you're closer to having a clang-tidy check that would use this functionality before we continue with this patch. WDYT?
