Presumably clang needs to do this in places already (diagnostic messages,
etc?)? Have you found any instances of that? Is there existing code doing
that work that could be refactored into something reusable (that way it's
being actually executed and tested within Clang's many codepaths, which is
helpful to avoid bitrot, etc)
