That's a good suggestion, thank you! I've just posted the following:

* Julia: 
https://discourse.julialang.org/t/refactoring-clang-could-this-benefit-julia/40621)
* Rust: 
https://internals.rust-lang.org/t/refactoring-clang-could-this-benefit-rust/12479
* Swift: 
https://forums.swift.org/t/refactoring-clang-could-this-benefit-swift/37151

Hopefully somebody from those communities will comment here. If not, I 
will summarise any discussion happening outside llvm-dev in a separate 
message. Please let me know if you think that the above list is incomplete!
