Absolutely, 100%, yes.

I think it is tremendously important for LLDB, LLD, and every other
subproject to reuse core infrastructure like this wherever possible. That
is *not* because I believe that the core infrastructure is perfect! It is
because we need to collect all of the improvements each project needs and
share both the implementation cost and the benefits that they bring across
the projects. That is really key to making the entire project as a whole
scale.
