There are known problems with running IWYU over LLVM/Clang -- Zachary
Turner made an attempt a while back to get it up and running. Since
the LLVM tree uses all sorts of modern and moderately complex
patterns, we're struggling to keep up.

Different humans appear to have different preferences :)

It'd be great to hear more about specifics, maybe you can bring them
up on the IWYU list:

Some of IWYU's controversial changes are by design, but some are just
bugs, and if you have ideas for a more principled design, we
appreciate all the input we can get.

Thanks,
