I'm not familiar with Android development and the difficulty in maintaining
android-clang. But seeing as we're already doing that anyway, it should be
less work to change to Clang. I'm all for upgraing compilers, so a +0.5 for
me.
However, please answer this: what kind of compatibility do we need and for how
long do we need to provide it?
