[cfe-dev] Suggestion for new AST-matchers

[Kim Viggedal via cfe-dev]

I think these matchers could be useful in many cases, or maybe just the one
tidy check, I think it's hard to tell myself.
So I guess I'll just start out with trying them out as local matchers for
one check and take it from there if I can find more uses for them.
