[cfe-dev] Clang derivative tool naming

[Don Williamson]

Thinking on it some more the last thing I want to do is name something which suggests that it's the ideal way of doing things with clang. Thanks for your input, Chris.

Cheers,
- Don

It uses Clang quite significantly to achieve its goal and wouldn't be possible without it, unless I wrote my own parser. Is this kind of naming considered good form? I can rename if necessary.

I don't see any problem with this, so long as reasonable people won't think that the tool "is clang" or "part of clang".
