Fair enough. The llvm-bcutil idea I mentioned in D26179 could make it a bit
less awkward, as then they would just be separate subcommands (sort of
analogous to yaml2obj's top-level switching on the format). We are already
growing a significant number of miscellaneous tiny utilities for testing
various API's, so it might be nice to unify them one day, but it's not a
big deal.
