For module debugging, we are planning to wrap clang module files in an ELF/COFF/Mach-O container containing debug information and the serialized clang AST. In order to still be able to run tools like llvm-bcanalyzer on the clang AST in the container being able to construct a pipe like
  llvm-objdump -section=__clang_ast -raw | llvm-bcanalyzer
would be very convenient.
