André:

Please forgive my ignorance, but there is obviously something here that I
am failing to understand.

I understand why interacting with CLang requires a model like the one that
you describe, but I would think that* any* compiler front end would need
this. Which raises two questions:

1. How is the *current* processing approach avoiding this requirement?

2. It seems that much of this has been solved in Eclipse (for some value of
"solved"). We obviously can't adopt their code, but would it be useful to
adopt some of their data model?
