The use-case is loading llvm plugins that add optimization passes via the PassManagerBuilder::addGlobalExtension mechanism (i.e. just loading the plugin is enough and you don't have to add anything extra to the command-line). Currently you have to do clang -Xclang -load -Xclang plugin.so, and it would be nicer to be able to do clang -load plugin.so. I'm not sure how to best add a test for this. Maybe I should add another pass to llvm that's built as a plugin like llvm/lib/Transforms/Hello but that uses PassManagerBuilder::addGlobalExtension and have a clang test that runs that?
