[cfe-dev] clang::LangOption policy

[Joshua Gerrard via cfe-dev]

Thanks for the quick reply Manuel! :)

I am using clang as a library, so AFAIK the clang-cl is not relevant (it's
just a frontend that does the things I'm describing at a different level -
which is what I'm proposing to change). The changes I am proposing would
simplify the implementation of it, however!

If I'm wrong and clang-cl is not just a frontend, then that could make my
life considerably easier.
