I'm not familiar much with Xray.

>From a quick glance, it seems to only exist on Linux (my own use case at
work is: 50/50 split between Windows & Mac, rarely if ever use Linux --
mostly because the main platforms that we work on are Windows or Mac based).

And then I don't know what's the overhead of having clang with Xray
compiled in. Would it be low enough to have it there on by default?
