I'm about 70% against this ( :P ), and the main reason for that opinion is that there is nothing like this in llvm, and if llvm was able to get away without it, then I don't see why shouldn't we be able to do it too. The way these kinds of things are usually done in llvm is via the `StringSwitch` class, and it seems to me that `StringSwitch` could be directly used in at least half of the motivating use cases you show here (and in the rest, it could be used after a mild code refactor, which that code needs anyway).

(And yeah, I am aware that going through StringSwitch will mean we lose the fast string comparison that ConstString was meant to provide, but I am sure that this will have no impact on the overall performance here.)



================
Comment at: lldb/source/Plugins/Language/CPlusPlus/LibStdcppUniquePointer.cpp:133-139
+  if (name.oneOf("ptr", "pointer"))
     return 0;
-  if (name == "del" || name == "deleter")
+  if (name.oneOf("del", "deleter"))
     return 1;
-  if (name == "obj" || name == "object" || name == "$$dereference$$")
+  if (name.oneOf("obj", "object", "$$dereference$$"))
     return 2;
   return UINT32_MAX;
----------------
This is a prime example for a `StringSwitch`, which is how these kinds of things are usually done in llvm.
```
return StringSwitch<size_t>(name.GetStringRef()).Cases("ptr, "pointer", 0).Cases("del", "deleter", 1).Cases("obj", "object", "$$dereference$$", 2).Default(UINT32_MAX);
```
(+ running clang-format over that)


================
Comment at: lldb/source/Plugins/Language/ObjC/ObjCLanguage.cpp:1039-1082
+  if (type_hint.oneOf(g_CFBag, g_CFBinaryHeap)) {
     prefix = "@";
     return true;
   }
 
   if (type_hint == g_NSNumberChar) {
     prefix = "(char)";
----------------
Using StringSwitch would make this code around three times shorter.
