I don't agree that it's a half-measure if we don't go with your 
proposal. I deliberately didn't pursue your proposal long ago.

I don't think you pointed out anything in your proposal regarding the 
clang-query feature.

I agree that typeloc matching can also be improved. I've focussed on 
Exprs so far.

I think it would be great to conclude this thread with either

1) at least a reversal of the default (perhaps so that you can pursue 
your design) or

2) intention to proceed in the way things are already going with my design.

I don't mind which we do.

I don't want to be left with the blame of having my design 
half-implemented though :). There are bugs that I can not fix, partly 
because this is not concluded.

If I can't move forward, then reversal is the only way (to give others 
the space to validate their designs) and I'd like to do that soon, so 
that this thread is not an open item for me (or anyone else) to deal with.

Thanks,

Stephen.
