Oh, sorry about the surprise.
There is a somewhat extended rationale at
http://llvm.org/devmtg/2014-04/PDFs/Talks/LTO-slides.pdf.

It looks like it is also used by something else since it also enable
disassembles :-(
But yes, at this point all its users are out of tree and all the ones
I know off are at Apple. Hopefully lib/LTO can then grow an interface
with the features that are needed by tools/gold and tools/lto and the
specific bits move one way or the other.
Cheers,
